Elizabeth I 1/2 Crown ND (1601-02) AU50 NGC, Tower mint London, Seventh issue, mintmark "1," S-2583, N-2013. Obv. Crowned portrait of Elizabeth right, holding scepter. Rev. Shield over long cross fourchee. A better example of this desirable type with the only defects being are a couple of minor scratches on the reverse. The portrait of Elizabeth is surprisingly nice, with an even striking showing little wear. The legend is also very struck-up and the planchet itself is large enough to show essentially all of the pellet outer-border to the legend. A piece that would fit in well with any collection. Sold with an old sales envelope.
