Elizabeth I (1558-1603) gold 1/2 Pound ND (1567-1570) AU53 NGC, Tower mint, Coronet mm, Fourth issue, S-2520B, N-1982, Schneider-745. 5.44gm. ELIZABETH : D' • G' • ANG' • FRA' ET • HI' • REGINA, crowned and ruffled half-length bust of Elizabeth left / SCVTVM : FIDEI : PROTEGET : EAM, crowned Tudor shield flanked by E-R. A delightful specimen dripping in a mellow-golden appearance subtly intensifying towards the peripheries and framing a lavishly and carefully struck portrait of Elizabeth. Only a gentle dispersal of mild handling is seen throughout this appreciable example capping the assigned grade, and despite this, the current offering finds itself aesthetically refined and worthy of advanced bids.
