This gold coin, minted in 1753 by John Croker, depicts King George II of Great Britain in profile. The coin’s inscription, “GEORGIUS II DEI GRA,” translates to “George II, by the Grace of God.” The coin is a fine example of 18th-century British coinage, with a detailed portrait of the king and a clear, elegant inscription. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
