Great Britain
Richard III gold Angel ND (1483-1485) VF30 NGC, London mint, Halved Sun-and-Rose (SR2) mm, S-2152, N-1677. 4.98 gm. Amongst the rarest and most popular in the highly collected Angel series, struck under the controversial king Richard III. This offering has encountered notable wear, and must have remained in circulation for quite some time - however it still retains mostly readable legends and pleasing detail to the central designs. Seldom offered in any grade, Richard III Angels routinely achieve very strong prices; accordingly, this problem-free circulated example may represent the perfect economy specimen of an otherwise unobtainable type. A charming piece of British history.
