Henry VIII (1509-1547) gold Crown of the Double Rose ND (1546-1547) MS64 NGC, Bristol mint, WS Monogram mm, Third Coinage, S-2309, N-1836, Schneider-640 var. (punctuation). 3.10gm. hЄnRIC (crook-shaped abbreviation) • VIII (rose) ROSA SInЄ: SPInA, crowned Tudor rose flanked by crowned h and crowned R / (WS monogram) D' • G' • AnGL' • (rose) FRAnC' • Z • hIB' • RЄX (rose), crowned royal shield flanked by crowned h and crowned R. A very highly coveted denomination within Henry's gold coinage, surpassed only by his "enthroned" and "St. George" sovereigns. Though generally not considered to be as rare as the issues naming his wives, the condition of the present offering quickly proves this piece to be the exception--proving to be the only certified example. As a point of comparison, the Schneider Collection contained only a single specimen struck from different dies. As such, likely amongst the finest known survivors, and a coin which certainly invites competition to acquire!
