Guinea 1695 Elephant & Castle S.3459, VG, Ex-Jewellery, an extremely rare 2-year type, with the 1696 coin stated as 'Extremely rare' by the Standard Catalogue. Our archive database stretching back 21 years reveals that this is the first example we have handled. Further research has uncovered a coin offered at Heritage Auctions in January 2024, whose description stated that their coin was the first they had handled, and that NGC had only graded one (their) example. We note also that PCGS have only graded one example, so by statistical analysis alone, proves to be rarer than the Standard Catalogue would suggest, Guinea collectors will certainly be alerted to this rare opportunity to own a coin of this type
