Five Guineas 1701 Fine Work S.3456 VF or slightly better/About VF, bold and attractive, with a gentle edge bruise at 12 o'clock on the obverse, pleasing for the grade retaining much eye appeal, a popular coin in today's market. A highly important coin in the history of the milled coinage, the Fine Work type introduced more intricate detail and a superb sharp striking to the portrait, a significant advance to the quality of minting at the time, leading to further higher relief designs being produced in the 18th Century, right up to the introduction of the later machine-made milled coinage
