Great Britain: George II Half Crown (Lima Issue) of 1745
A scarce coin and in better grades seldom offered in South Africa.
Catalogues at R4500+ in VF and over R16 000 in XF.
1745-46 LIMA pieces were struck from a hoard of silver captured from the Spanish by British Admiral Anson's squadron operating in the Pacific Ocean.
The word "Lima" engraved under the bust is a reference to the fact that the Spanish silver was being shipped from Lima, Peru back to Spain when it was intercepted by Admiral Anson.
