GREAT BRITAIN. Pound, (160)1. London Mint; mm: 1. Elizabeth I. PCGS AU-53.
S-2539; Fr-219; N-2008. Seventh issue. Weight: 11.04 gms. Obverse: Crowned and mantled bust left, wearing ruffled collar; Reverse: Garnished square-topped coat-of-arms; crown above. Handling itself rather commendably, this impressive, wide flan Elizabethan issue provides a rich endowment of detail from the strike, particularly upon the reverse. Supremely charming golden luster commands attention and is most forcefully visible near the peripheries and within the finely engraved elements. Some combination of strike softness and light circulation is observed on the likeness of Elizabeth, though the outline of the Gloriana is never lost, merely faded. This limited setback is rather marginal when considering the enormous popularity of the type, matching the general popularity of Elizabeth herself. For the collector seeking an advanced issue of the Elizabethan era, this Pound will undoubtedly satisfy. To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click here.
