Great Britain
Elizabeth I (1558-1603) gold 1/2 Pound ND (1567-1570) MS61 NGC, Tower mint, Coronet mm, Fourth Issue, S-2520B, N-1982, Schneider-745. 5.63gm. 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 sensitively rendered portrait of Elizabeth decorates this lovely and confidently Mint State 1/2 Pound, distinguished in type by the addition an ear to her bust. Only mild striking weakness is encountered in the reverse legends as is common to her hammered issues, yet the majority retains laudable depth. Tied for the finest for this highly collectible series.
