Lot 2655
Great Britain. Crown, 1551. S.2478; Dav-8245. Edward VI, 1547-1553. Fine silver issue (1551-53). Mint mark, Y. King on horseback facing right, date below. This is a well struck coin on a large full flan, with all lettering sharp, and an exquisite portrait of the boy King. Not quite as strong as the Slaney and Cheshire Collection crowns of Edward VI, but a superb specimen nevertheless. This was the very first dated English Crown. Sixteenth Century coins of this quality are rarely seen now in the marketplace. Nearly Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
