Lot 2104
Great Britain. Ryal or Rose-Noble, ND. S.1952; Fr-133. Edward IV, First Reign, 1461-1470. Light coinage. Flemish imitative coinage. Ruler in ship. Reverse: Ornamental cross. As England's European trade steadily increased during the 14th and 15th centuries large quantities of English coins which were known for their quality, good weight and metal fineness ended up in Europe, despite attempts to control their movement! Gold Nobles were so popular that they were imitated and produced in the Low Countries (now Belgium and Holland), but the style was quite different. This is an example of one of these interesting pieces. Struck on a large flan, with nice detail, this is a popular and desirable coin. NGC graded EF-45.
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,200.
