Edward VI (1547-1553), in the name of Henry VIII gold Crown of the Double Rose ND (1547-1549) MS63 NGC, Tower mint, Arrow mm, S-2395, N-1867, Schneider-649 var. (legends). 3.09gm. + (arrow) HENRIC' • 8 • RVTILA' • ROS' • SIN' • SPI' (lozenge stops), crowned Tudor rose, crowned H-R to either side / + (arrow) DEI • GRA' • AGL' • FRA' • Z HIB' • REX (lozenge stops), crowned Tudor shield, crowned H-R to either side. A truly incredible grade for this often poorly preserved and universally weakly struck denomination, with only a handful of examples from the reign of Edward VI having come to market in recent years, and perhaps the nearest being the ex. Norweb specimen (simply described as "very fine" when it reappeared in the Samuel King Collection). Minted on a surprisingly normal flan with minimal edge chipping or cracking, the designs admit a certain clarity in the places where the dies found their mark that truly speaks to the coin's quality. Currently the only certified example, and notably rare as such.
Ex. Mark Rasmussen List Number 13, Item 54
