Watch List notes:

Henry VIII (1509‑47), Third coinage, 1544‑47, Half‑Sovereign, Southwark mint, mintmark S both sides, king crowned and bearded, enthroned in state robes holding orb and sceptre, Tudor rose below feet, legend surrounds HENRIC 8 DG AGL FRANCI Z HIBER REX. Rev, crowned shield supported by lion to left and dragon to right, legend reads 'IhS AVTE TRANSI PER MEDIVM ILLOR IBAT, 6.19g (S.2296; N.1826; Schneider 621). Toned, a pleasing depiction of King and the throne, some soft areas, legends in the main legible. Rev, the coat of arms well detailed, the usual distortion in the supporting lion, a know weak area even in premier examples. Legends legible, a good example of the Southwark issue, scarce. Very fine.
