Rare 1699 5G William III Coin and 1356-61 Noble S-1490 Come to SaleWith Gold Standard Auctions

Better known as William of Orange, William III was the King of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1689 to 1702. He ruled Britain and Ireland jointly with his wife, Queen Mary II. A staunch Protestant, William was celebrated as a champion of the faith by his followers. During his reign, the largest denomination currency minted was the 1699 5G gold coin. One such Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) piece is a key highlight of the upcoming Gold Standard Auctions sale. Containing approximately one-quarter of an ounce of gold, the coin was issued in small numbers. With only minor marks or aberrations and featuring bold lettering, it is considered a rare specimen. Another notable currency lot from England in this sale is the 1356-61 Noble S-1490 Choice BU. The Noble was the foremost English gold coin produced in large quantities during the rule of King Edward III. This piece was minted in his fourth coinage (1351 – 1377) and weighs 7.8 grams (120 grains).

Two unique US gold coins also lead the listings. One is an 1877-CC $10 Eagle Choice AU whereas the other is an uncirculated 1826 $3 piece. To view the complete catalog and register to bid in the upcoming Feb 24th Vancouver Valentine Coin auction, visit Bidsquare and browse other online auctions.
