Great Britain
Elizabeth I Crown ND (1601-02), Seventh Issue, "1" mm, S-2582, North-2012 (R), AU50 NGC. Despite a handful of minor annealing flaws, this crown is absolutely superb. The strike is sharp and even, the details boldly accentuated by light cabinet tone in gray with golden undertones. Slight double-striking is visible in the legends, although each letter remains distinct, as do the quartered arms. An exceptional piece and rare in such a fine state of preservation.
