But Elizabeth was a master of political science, and managed to achieve her ends while maintaining the devotion of the whole of English society to an extent probably not seen again until the reign of Victoria. By the end of this reign, England had emerged as the world's strongest naval power, and the stage was set for the country's future imperial expansion. Likewise during Elizabeth's reign the country experienced an artistic and cultural "golden age" - with such notables, especially in literature, as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Spenser and Bacon. Elizabeth died childless and without heir at age seventy, having been on the English throne for forty-four years. With her ended the Tudor age, but through her the nation truly emerged in renaissance. NGC Certification Number 2134789-002 Ex The Century Collection.

Estimated Value $15,000 - UP The so-called gold Broad, valued in 1656 at 20 shillings, was in effect the very first Guinea, which was invented in the following decade and also valued at 20 shillings. Cromwell's portrait coins are often described as patterns, but it is quite likely that they were intended, eventually to circulate. Authority was given for manufacture in 1656 but the first full production came in 1657, followed by a later wave of coinage before the September of 1658, when Cromwell died. Cromwell had become king in all but name-indeed his last parliament had offered him the crown. He had refused the offer because he feared the army's republicanism, but he was nevertheless pleased to see his portrait used so conspicuously on the national coinage.
