Struck from “Lima” Gold Treasure, the 1746 Gold Five GuineasGeorge II (1727-60), gold Five Guineas, 1746, LIMA. below older laureate head left, GEORGIVS.II. DEI.GRATIA, rev. crowned quartered shield of arms, date either side of crown, M.B.FE. ET. H. REX. F.D. B.ET. L. D. S. R. I. A. T ET. E., edge inscribed in raised letter and dated, DECVS. ET. TVTAMEN. ANNO. REGNI. DECIMO NONO., weight 41.95g (Schneider 564; MCE 285; S.3665). Some light surface marks, lightly toned, otherwise a bold to good very fine. The Lima gold coinage struck in 1746 was seemingly all struck from gold sourced from a Royal Family funded consortium of ships under the command of James Talbot and John Morecock, who captured French treasure ships carrying gold in the North Atlantic in mid-1745. Another French ship that escaped them was later captured at Louisbourg by the English Navy, that was also rich in gold treasure which also contributed towards the LIMA marked gold coinage. A total of £474,492 worth of gold was struck in the calendar year of 1746. A wonderful medallion was produced which shows the capture of the French treasure by Talbot and Morecock on the obverse, with the reverse depicting their busts and the procession of the treasure in wagons below being transported to the Mint for coining. According to “The Rarity of Five Guinea Pieces – An Analysis” which appeared in the preface of the Samuel King Collection of Highly Important English Gold, a survey of 45 years of dealer sales lists and auction catalogues from 1960-2005, a total of 105 examples of this date of Five Guinea were traced in commerce which is the joint third highest figure across the 8 possible dates of the reign. Herbert Schneider also analysed the gold Five Guinea and Two Guinea coins of George II in his Spink Numismatic Circular article “The Five Guinea and Two Guinea Pieces of George II” in February 1957.This coin is the largest gold coin to carry the LIMA provenance mark.
George II (1727-60), gold Guinea, 1745, intermediate laureate head left, legend and toothed border surrounding, GEORGIUS. II. DEI. GRATIA., rev. crowned quartered shield of arms, date either side of crown, abbreviated Latin legend, M.B.F.ET.H. REX. F.D.B.ET.L.D.S.R.I.A.T.ET.E, weight 8.34g (Schneider 590; MCE 319; S.3678). Toned, some short hairline scratches on face, very fine. The Mint output of gold in 1745 was £292,866 which was nearly thirty times the year before as the latter part of the year was boosted by the LIMA coinage from captured treasures from the New World, however those coins were marked with LIMA below the bust and the non LIMA coins like we have here dated 1745 are just as difficult to find. William Chetwynd was the new Master-Worker at this time since the year before this coin was made and John Sigismund Tanner was the Chief Engraver. Provenance: Purchased from A. H. Baldwin and Sons Ltd, Spring 2007
