- GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Crown, 1746. London Mint. George II. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield. S-3695A; KM-584.3. LIMA type. A pleasing, well struck coin with luster remaining in the peripheries, and endowed with an even gray tone. The famous 'LIMA' marked coinage commemorates the seizure by Admiral Anson of a Spanish treasure fleet off the coast of Peru, and was supposedly struck with the silver gained from that naval action. Anson's voyage into the Pacific, executed during the so-called War of Jenkin's Ear, was meant to disrupt shipping traffic and cause general mayhem for the Spanish. Estimate: $200 - $300. Provenance: From the Sundial Valley Farms Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
