正面描述 Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, engraved by Richard Yeo in the second portrait style, with flowing hair rendered in fine curling locks beneath a laurel wreath. The truncation of the bust is elegantly finished with a scroll ornament. The circumferential Latin legend reads GEORGIVS·III·DEI·GRATIA·, separated by raised pellet stops, set against a deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of this pattern issue.

附加信息

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.
