Heritage sale 3029, lot 30617

This specimen was lot 30617 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $4,406.25. The catalog description^[1] noted, "Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Halfcrown, '1' mm, struck 1601-02, AU50 NGC. A better example of this desirable type. The only defects are a couple of minor scratches on the reverse. The portrait of Elizabeth is surprisingly nice, with a good, even striking showing little wear. The legend is also very struck-up and the planchet itself large enough to show essentially all of the pellet outer-border to the legend. A piece that would fit in well with any collection."

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 0.925 fine silver.

Catalog reference: S-2583, KM 6.
