Virtually as struck with deep old cabinet tone, exceptionally rare; perhaps only one other specimen (Johnston, NC 1903, pl.iii, 29, an inferior striking) extant [certified and graded NGC PF 63] £8,000-£10,000 --- Provenance: D. Fore Collection, Part II, Baldwin Auction 82 (London), 31 May 2013, lot 890, label. Owner’s ticket and envelope. Although the regnal year spanned 1768-9, authority to strike gold half-mohurs as part of the third gold coinage was not given until March 1769. It is likely that the then current practice was to strike specimens in silver (also known for the other minor denominations) for approval by the authorities before minting commenced in May 1769
