This specimen was lot 1046 in Sincona sale 79 (Zürich, October 2022), where it sold for 3,600 CHF (about US$4,315 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN | Königreich, Edward IV. First Reign, 1461-1470. Ryal or Rose noble n. d. (1467-1470), York. Light coinage. Mintmark lis. Large fleurs in spand[r]els. Rare. NGC AU Details. Removed from jewellery." Lobel[2] notes that in the 1460's the price of gold rose to where nobles were being exported from England to the Continent. To forestall this, in 1464 the king raised the value of the noble to eight shillings four pence and introduced a new coin, the rose noble, tariffed at ten shillings. It was superseded in 1470 by the gold angel. The York mint placed a Gothic "Є" (for Eboracum) in the waves below the ship; Bristol used a "B", Coventry a "C" and Norwich an "n".
