Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Crown ND (1601-1602) AU58 NGC, Tower mint, "1" mm, KM7, S-2582, N-2012. It is only on rare occasion that scarcity and high collector popularity meet a "finest certified" caliber of preservation, and yet, it is just so in this laudable Crown of Elizabeth I, certified AU58 by NGC. As one of the most famous rulers of England, Elizabeth's coinage continues to see high demand by collectors. Her crowns are among the most desirable of types issued during her reign, and this near-mint example fully earns its grade, one that confirms only the briefest period in circulation: a steel tone with subtle touches of iridescence lies over fields and devices having seen only the faintest rub, the finer features of the Queen's hair and dress virtually without any flatness at even the highest points, a subtle gloss to both the obverse and reverse faces confirming an underlying mint freshness. The ideal target for the collector of high-quality British crowns, and a piece that is certain to confer pride of ownership to its future owner.
