Great Britain. Quarter Noble, ND. S.1810; Fr-114. Henry VI First Reign, 1422-1461. London mint. Annulet issue. Shield within a tressure of eight arcs, with list at 12 O'clock.

This is an exceptionally well struck and well preserved example of a rare type of quarter noble. Henry VI small gold coins are significantly rarer than those of Edward III. This small denomination, intended for extensive use in trade, is seldom seen in such a high grade. Normally seen in VF condition, this example would never have seen circulation. Catalogue price is £500 (over $900) in VF grade alone. NGC graded MS-60.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,750.
