NGC Certification 5880656-014. We note this coin is currently the second finest graded at NGC of this variety of the York Mint, PCGS have yet to grade any example of this type of coin S.1804. The York Mint struck gold coins for the first time ever in this reign from 12th August 1423 to 14th August 1424, to a total weight of 2,538 pounds of gold which would have had a face value of circa £42,310. By comparison London Tower Mint issued circa £57,767 face value in the following 12-month period after York ceased striking gold, but by contrast London issued just over £500,000 worth of face value gold in this issue. These York Mint pieces feature a fleur de lis over the stern of the ship and being only struck for a year are quite rare today.
