    This 5 guinea piece is of spectacular rarity, produced from treasure that was taken from Spanish ships off Vigo in Northern Spain in 1702. So little gold was captured that only about 20 of these coins were struck, identified by the name VIGO below the Queen’s head.

    The name grosso is a derivative of the French Denarius Grossus (grossus meaning thick). It's the basis for many variations of the name used in different languages, in the East & West, to denote a thick silver coin & later as a general denomination. (Gros Tournois 1285-1290 AD)
