Lot 3075

Great Britain. Pound of 20 Shillings, ND. S-2534; N-2008. 11.08 grams. Elizabeth I, 1558-1603. Fifth Coinage (1583-1600). Crowned "old" bust left in richly ornamented dress and profusion of long hair. Reverse: Crowned shield. Mintmarks: lion and tun / tun (struck 1591/2-1594). Usual occasional weakness in a few small areas, especially the shield, but this is a joyful example, lustrous and struck on a full flan and showing bold legends (the lovely portrait is of shallow engraving, not weakly impressed). Rare, especially in this outstanding grade. NGC graded AU-58.

Paintings in the National Portrait Gallery in London show Elizabeth in dresses similar to this one.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
