Antiques, Silver & Gold (14% Buyers Commission)
A collection of numismatic items primarily featuring British Crown coins, alongside an assortment of jewelry, all presented within a white plastic bin. The centerpiece is a 1951 George VI ‘Festival of Britain’ Five Shillings Coin, housed in its original green presentation box, depicting St. George and the Dragon. The box is marked “FESTIVAL OF BRITAIN 1951” with a royal crest. Also included are several other “Festival of Britain 1951” issues, many individually cased in clear plastic holders, some displaying heraldic shields and the “FIVE SHILLINGS” denomination. Visible Latin text on some coins includes “GEORGE VI DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX F.D. IND. IMP.” An older coin, marked “BRITANNIA 1731,” is also present. Most coins are silver-toned metal, though one appears very dark, possibly copper or heavily tarnished. The assorted jewelry comprises various metallic chains (silver- and gold-toned), pendants (including a cross), earrings, and a ring with a dark stone, many stored in small plastic bags, appearing to be mixed metals.
