Anglo-Gallic, Edward III, silver denier au léopard, third type, leopard l., between two lines, quatrefoil below, rev. cross pattée (Elias 97, this coin), very fine and extremely rare
*ex Edward Elias Collection (lot 180); purchased Crédit de la Bourse, 1977.
The coin was later copied in Bergerac by Henry, Earl of Lancaster, c. 1347-51. This and the Gothic N and annuleted T confirm that the coin is of Edward III and not Edward I. Elias believed this to be a key coin in the Anglo-Gallic series and on his ticket it is rated as R4. Interestingly the Bergerac coin (lot 236) sold for £750 in the Elias auction.
(300-500 GBP)
