Richard II (1377-99) gold Noble ND (1377-99) MS64 NGC, S-1656, N-1303. London mint, Type IIIa, Cross pattée mm. Crowned king with sword and shield standing facing in ship, French title resumed / Floriate cross with R in central quadrilobe. A sharply struck Medieval masterpiece, the highest certified by either NGC or PCGS. Besides some blundering of the strike between 9 and 12 o'clock in the obverse legend, this Noble exhibits full and extensive detail, Richard's portrait (similar in style to that of his grandfather, Edward III) particularly sharp. The reverse is simply beautiful, creamy gold surfaces with exceptionally few distracting marks from the ornate central design. A rarer type from this monarch whose short reign began when he was only ten years old, and a specimen worthy of the finest cabinets of British hammered gold.
