Lot 2109
Great Britain. Crown of Double Rose, ND. S.2273; Fr-164. Henry VIII, 1509-1547. Crowned double rose, at sides HK (Henry and Katherine of Aragon). Reverse: Crowned arms. This short-lived denomination was introduced during Henry VIII's 1526 monetary reform. The 22 carat gold Crown proved to be the forerunner of the silver Crown first produced during the reign of Edward VI, in 1551. For some reason this denomination is generally found in low grade but this piece is a very respectable AU-55. NGC graded AU-50.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
