The 1703 Guinea - Queen Anne VIGOThe 1703 Guinea Reverse shows crowned cruciform coats-of-arms with sceptres in the quarters and English Rose in the centre.
Most 1703 coins do not have the VIGO mark below the bust. The VIGO means that the metal used was from Spanish bullion seized in Vigo Bay by an Anglo-Dutch expedition. This is a rare coin.
The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Anne.Guineas with 'VIGO' are expensive coins, the better specimens go for well over £100,000.
Note: Image shown is the 1703 Five Guinea, which carries the same design.
