Half Guinea 1691 S.3430 NF/VG the reverse with a weak area at the top of the shield as often, rare, the first of this date and type we have offered, we note that since 2003, we have offered 6 of the 1691 Elephant and Castle variety, but none of this type, so it would appear that this is rarer than the catalogue value would suggest
