As the King Lay Dying… – The Most Spectacular British Gold Coin of the Modern Era
In Part 4 of its extraordinary British Collection, SINCONA will be presenting several extremely rare patterns, some of which are the best-preserved specimens available on the market. In this article, we tell their story.
