London, England, sovereign, George V, 1913. Sp-3996, KM-820, 8.0 grams. Typical UNC with a minimum of contact marks, the well-preserved box and certificate being the more impressive part of the package.

Overijssel, ducat, Philip II (1590-93). Fr-262, 3.3 grams. Among the many egotistical measures adopted in Philip II's later years was the striking of ducats like these in the Spanish-controlled territories of the Netherlands, with facing, crowned portraits of Ferdinand and Isabel, just like the heralded excelente coin of a century prior but with Philip's name in the legend, and this one is a decent example, with well-detailed portraits and crowned shield, much legend, lightly polished AU from former mounting.
