George III gold "Military" Guinea 1813 AU55 NGC, KM664, S-3730. Produced to pay troops fighting in the Napoleonic Wars, just 80,000 of this final-year Guinea were struck and many saw significant circulation. The present offering has thus survived admirably well, some light wear to the highpoints of George's portrait and a dulling of the mint bloom, yet the peripheries are still notably sharp and backlit by dual rings of vibrant luster.
