Lot 447
Great Britain. Pattern 12 Groats (Double Florin) 1914. Struck in silver by Reginald Huth. George V. Reeded edge. ESC-405: Very Rare in any condition. Struck by Pinches. Similar to the 1911 above but with the unique 12-Groats denomination, which of course was never adopted as the groat was a medieval coinage long forgotten by the general public. Another marvelous example of a pattern almost never seen, and certainly not in such a splendid condition. This specimen is, if anything, even prettier than the 1911, with an undisturbed Roman Finish: silver-gray with a delicate iridescence. Extremely rare! Also ex Norweb Collection (last sold by Spink at auction, June 1987, this is its first re-appearance on the market since that time). PCGS graded Proof 66.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
Part of Terner Collection.
