William and Mary, 1689-1694, Gold 5 Guineas, 1692
KM-479-1, S-3422, 41.6 grams, 37mm. Conjoined laureate busts right, GVLIELMVS.ET.MARIA.DEI.GRATIA, toothed border on both sides, reverse: crowned quartered shield with escutcheon of the Lion of Nassau with 11 lozenges, seven strings to Irish harp, date 1692 at top, .MAG.BR.FR.ET.HIB.REX.ET.REGINA. Mary Stuart was the daughter of James II and married William III as part of Charles II's foreign policy. William and Mary reigned jointly from 1688 until her death from smallpox at the young age of 32 in 1694. The Five Guinea piece was the largest of their gold coins and featured the conjoined busts of the two monarchs, as this was the only time in British history that joint monarchs' portraits appeared on currency. All William and Mary coins are rare in high grade and this near-Mint piece is no exception, with a pleasant red tone. A simply lovely example retaining its original mint brilliance. About Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated.
The reverse of the William & Mary guinea like the other gold coins of this series was a totally a new design unlike any before or after until George II and III. Instead of the more traditional four shield design separated by four sceptres it has all the shields in one ornamental shield or garter with a single crown above.
The William & Mary guinea was minted every year from 1688 to 1694 and every year can be found with the elephant and castle mark.
The Elephant and castle below bust donates that the gold
used came from the Africa Company.
No guineas were minted at local provincial mints. 1689-1694 Gold, 8.5 grams, 25mm Diameter.
