Lot 114
BRITISH COINS, George III, trial double-obverse pattern bank dollar in gold, undated, plain edge, obv. 1: GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA REX., laur. and dr. bust r., heavily frosted with a pebbled texture, C.H.K on truncation with flourish beneath into field, border of long denticles with narrow rim, obv. 2: GEORGIUS III • D : G • REX ., laur. and dr. bust r., heavily frosted, K or possibly curved X on truncation, border of beads with broad rim (W&R.146, lacking image, as R7, 1-2 known), a beautiful specimen of proof quality with gleaming mirrored fields, high rims, and extraordinary eye-appeal, a great rarity among ‘gold crowns’ and probably unique *ex Murdoch lot 203 This extremely rare pattern bears an uncanny resemblance to a pair of dies illustrated in C. Wilson Peck’s English Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins in the British Museum, second edition, plate 20, the first obverse (although having the addition of a period stop after REX), being the piece standing alone and marked simply ‘x’, while the second obverse seems to be that of R93. All this suggests that the coin seen in this lot, a mule struck using these two Soho Mint dies intended for the bronze twopence coins of 1797 and 1805 respectively, might have been minted at Soho about 1805, although it certainly could have been struck slightly later by W. J. Taylor, as referenced by Wilson & Rasmussen. Peck makes no specific mention of it nor of the other two patterns listed as W&R.147 and 148, although Peck’s footnote 2 on page 362 states that Taylor obtained a number of bank dollar dies ‘which he used freely for restriking’. Peck’s Appendix 10 lists a variety of Taylor restrikes that appeared for sale in 1880 but no gold bank dollars are included. No matter when or where this piece was made, if crown-sized patterns struck in fine gold tickle your fancy, or stir your desire to engage in original research, this magical gold coin is for you!
