- GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, 1746-LIMA Year D.NONO. London Mint. George II. PCGS AU-55. S-3689; KM-585.3; ESC-1668. This delicately handled Crown offers some exceedingly handsome toning and a bold strike. Very little marking abuts against the surfaces, making this a strong and more affordable example of the ever demanded "LIMA" type. Coins struck with the word "LIMA" below the bust were produced from silver seized by the British fleet under the command of Admiral Anson. The silver in question was being shipped from Lima, Peru to Spain when it was intercepted. At the time, British and Spain were engaged in the War of Jenkins Ear. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000.
