Edward IV (1st Reign, 1461-1470) gold Ryal ND (1466-1470) AU55 NGC, Tower mint, Crown mm, Light Coinage, S-1950, N-1549, Schneider-365 var. 7.36gm. ЄD | WΛRD' x DI x GRΛ x RЄX x ΛnGL' x Z (retrograde) x FRΛnC x | DnS IB' x (trefoil stops), crowned, armored figure of Edward standing facing in ship with large rose on hull, sword in right hand, shield in left / (crown) IhC' ΛVT' x TRΛnSIЄnS x PЄR x mЄDIVm x ILLORVm x IBΛT (trefoil stops), rose in radiant sun over floriate cross, crowns and lions in angles, all within polylobe with large trefoils in spandrels. A more attainable example of this popular type, struck with ideal centering on a just slightly undersized flan. Though light friction bounds the grade, in general this does not hamper the intelligibility of the designs. For the sake of accuracy, we note a minor scuff around 12 o'clock on the obverse.
