The example offered here displays only slightly more overall wear to the obverse and with a superior reverse. The piece offered here would be a worthy addition to an advanced early milled gold collection. We note this is now listed at £70,000 in EF in the Spink catalogue, compared to £22,500 back in 2014, so the catalogue price of this coin has tripled in just 7 years.
