| Aanvullende informatie |
The quarter guinea had been dormant since 1762, and this 1764 proof pattern was never authorized for circulation — it existed primarily as a trial piece during a period when the Royal Mint was weighing whether to revive small-denomination gold coinage. The experiment went nowhere. Regular quarter guinea production was not resumed, and gold coinage of this size remained impractical for daily commerce given the ongoing problem of wear and loss in small gold pieces.
Spink records this under pattern issues rather than regular coinage for good reason. Survivors are few.
