Great Britain
Elizabeth I (1558-1603) 6 Pence 1562 AU53 NGC, S-2595, N-2026. A delightful survivor from earlier attempts at modernizing British coinage with milling technology, introduced by Elizabeth and Mestrelle, that would serve as a fleeting idea. Regardless, this example displays expert craftsmanship and an entrancing patina punctuated by light notes of iridescence, limited by only minimal signs of circulation. Sold with CNG tag.
