| Lot description: Great Britain Charles I gold Unite ND (1631-1632) AU53 NGC, Briot's mint at the Tower, Daisy above B mm, KM171, S-2719, N-2294. An exquisite Unite and one rarely witnessed for sale, struck by Briot, showcasing the merits of milled coinage over hammered types through its impressive quality enlivened by a fine preservation and attractive aesthetic. Struck on a complete flan, the meticulous details of the strike are beautifully showcased, with even the minor wear unable to obscure its features. Struck on a full flan, the details of the strike are lavishly expressed to an extent that even the light wear present keeps from blending the features together. While the flan at first appears somewhat uneven, a look over Brooker's collection suggests that this may be more of a virtue of imperfections in the dies themselves, number 707 in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles catalog of his collection showing the same precise areas of unevenness. The second example of the issue we have offered and one of only a very few certified, with an esteemed pedigree to wit, we do not doubt that it will come fiercely contested. Ex.
