Half Guinea of King George II dated 1752. Obverse: old head laureate portrait of the King, facing left with aged face and two laurel leaves to top of wreath. Legend reads: 'GEORGIVS · II · DEI · GRATIA ·'. Reverse: ornate shield of royal arms, surmounted by crown which extends to the edge of the coin and divides date: 1752. Legend reads: 'M · B · F · ET · REX · F · D · B · ET · L · D · S · R · I · A · T · ET · E ·'. Half Guineas were first introduced in 1669 and would be eliminated in the Great Recoinage of 1816. The designs on both the obverse and reverse of this coin are attributed to John Sigismund Tanner who had taken over as Chief Engraver to the Royal Mint in 1741, following the death of John Croker. The lettering on this Half Guinea is large and and placed close to the edge, a measure against clipping and filing. It was struck in the final decade of George II's reign: he would be succeeded by his grandson, George III, in 1760. Weight: 4.16 grams. Approximate diameter: 20.8 millimetres. Grade: AVF details - Some minor scuffs and dents, minor creasing: has possibly been in the ground. References: S 3685, Farey 950.
