This specimen was lot 20036 in Ponterio sale 176 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $2,350. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Edward IV, First Reign, 1461-1470. Quarter Ryal, ND (1465-66). Sun. Light Coinage. Quartered shield, ‘E’ above, rose left and sun right, within tressure of four arches. Rv. Sun center within tressure of eight arches. Perfect weight and exactly to standard. The lettering is a trifle short, but this is as manufactured. Overall, the coin is perfectly centered on the flan and strongly struck with superb details. We’ll be conservative, but many would view this coin as a higher grade example. Very Fine. Ex: Seaby, 1982." 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 It was superseded in 1470 by the gold angel.
