Aquitaine. Edward III (1325-1377) Gros au Lion Passant ND (1347-1351) VF25 NGC, Elias-59 (RRRR), W&F-66 2/b (R). 24mm. 1.98gm. Displaying a surprisingly light amount of weakness, this mildly off-center piece showcases an engaging deep steely tone, kept from being too subdued by a pleasant champagne luminescence. Minted on a markedly full and regular flan, indicating something of a higher standard of production.
