Great Britain
Richard II (1377-1399) gold Noble ND VF35 PCGS, London mint, Cross pattée mm, S-1654, N-1302. Crowned king with sword and shield standing facing in ship, an annulet above the ship's sail / Floriate cross with R in central quadrilobe, trefoils in spandrels. A pleasing large-size piece of Medieval gold, represented with a great deal of detail despite its strike with worn dies and subsequent circulation. The flan is slightly uneven but has taken the impression of the dies well besides some localised areas of weakness, the entirety cloaked with a rich red patina. Much of the diagnostic features of Richard's Nobles lie in the symbol above the sail, and due to the slightly off-center strike it is difficult to determine for sure the variety. However, there seems to be the base of the annulet that would place this piece within the assigned reference group. Overall, a choice piece from this scarcer monarch.
