Groat Edward I, New Coinage from 1279 onwards, New Portrait with smaller pointed face, trefoils in spandrels, drapery is a segment of a circle with a rosette in the centre, S.1379D (Fox 7) VF with original surfaces, and a few very minor surface marks. Although many dies were produced, the coin was at the time unpopular, indeed many surviving examples have been either gilded or mounted, making original pieces such as this exceeding hard to obtain. A key rarity in the English hammered series and seldom offered.
Estimate: 9000-12000 GBP
