Cinquefoil. Second Coinage. Exceedingly Rare Half Angel with an Extensive Pedigree Chain S-2617; North-2082; Fr-233; KM-43. 36.8 grains. St. Michael spearing dragon. Rv. Ship with shield at center; ‘I’ and rose flank thick mast. Exceedingly rare. An important James I type from the Norweb sale which, considering its great rarity, was acquired by Mr. Law at a reasonable price. Seldom encountered and a perfect example for the grade. Full legends and well struck details, particularly the angel and dragon scales. The coin also boasts a fabulous pedigree chain that includes Montagu, Murdoch, and Lockett, among others, attesting to its immense rarity. Extremely Fine.
