Lot 2093
Great Britain. Noble, ND. S.1655; Fr-100. Richard II, 1377-1399. London. Ruler in ship. Reverse: Ornamental cross. This is a remarkably sharply struck example of a very rare coin, produced during the early part of the reign of the ill-fated King Richard. The style of the English gold coinage changed very little during the 13th and 14th centuries AD and if anything, the Nobles of Richard II were of a slightly cruder style. This, coupled with the fact that Richards's reign was much shorter than that of his grandfather, Edward III, makes the appearance and acquisition of a well struck mint state specimens all the more remarkable. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
