Great Britain
Mary I (1553-1558) Groat ND (1553-1554) AU50 PCGS, Tower mint, Pomegranate mm, S-2492, N-1960. An exquisitely rendered specimen of this notoriously weak issue, a bold strike lending an appealing three-dimensionality to Mary's portrait. Toned a pleasing gunmetal gray, with hints of royal purple giving way to pale green-gold in the fields. A wonderful representative of the type.
