Lot 2130
Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1601. S.2583. Elizabeth I. Mintmark, 1. Crowned bust holding sword and orb left. Reverse: Arms on quartered field. A lovely, balanced coin for the grade, having excellent medium gray toning. No flan cracks as so often seen, even on the best of these. Also, the flan is almost perfectly round, the legends are totally clear and readable, the shield and portrait of the queen unusually well detailed. A classic of its age, always in keen demand from historically curious collectors. NGC graded VF-30.
