Lot 3651
Great Britain. Half Sovereign, ND. S.2297; Fr-167. Henry VIII, 1509-1547. Third coinage (1544-1547). Southwark mint. Obverse has classic design of King seated on throne, holding an orb (no sceptre). Reverse: Crowned shield with lion and dragon. Though a little double-struck and a little weak in parts (strong in others) as coins of this issue often are, the bearded portrait of the King is quite bold. Some edge flaking, as is often found - small fragments of gold naturally fell from the coin during the striking process. Struck late in Henry's reign, this is delightful numismatic specimen featuring one of England's most famous monarchs! Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,000.
