Acquired privately, 20 May 2012
Ivan Buck, Spink 176, 30 November 2005, lot 203 (acquired Bennett, September 1997, £150)
Glendining, 9 December 1992, lot 321
Reigate Hoard, 1990
,
This intriguing coin is struck from the same reverse die as a Calais, Trefoil issue Groat, also recovered from the Reigate Hoard, cf. lot 338. As Silver output from the Calais mint was virtually non-existent at this period, this important mule could relate to either the 'Leaf-Trefoil' issue or, as previously indicated the core Trefoil issue
Estimate: £250 - £350
