ЄD | WΛRD • DI GRΛ RЄX • ΛnG (trefoil stops), crowned half-length figure of Edward standing facing in ship banner inscribed with Є on stern and rose on side, sword in right hand, shield in left / (crown) DOmInЄ • nЄ • In FVRORЄ • TVO ΛRGVΛS • mЄ • (trefoil stops), rose in radiant sun over floriate cross, crowns and lions in angles, all within polylobe with large trefoils in spandrels. Astounding quality to say the least, particularly when one is mindful of the sharpness of the central features, which almost ubiquitously come with at least some degree of weakness in this series. To date, only a single piece has been certified a point finer at PCGS, clearly pointing to the undeniable conditional rarity of the present piece. Far more challenging than the larger Ryals of this monarch, and sure to inspire fierce bidding among connoisseurs.
