Ponterio sale 176, lot 20116
Eng c1600 crown rev P176-20116.jpg

This specimen was lot 20116 in Ponterio sale 176 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $11,750. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Elizabeth I, 1558-1603. Crown, ND (1600-01). 0. Crowned bust left with flowing hair and ornate dress. Rv. Crowned square topped shield; ‘E’ and ‘R’ flanking. A tough type to find, perhaps a sleeper rarity. A well-made example with great details and complete legends on both sides. Another ideal type coin from this important cabinet. Very Fine. Ex: Spink, 1982." The gold pound (Fr-214) was twenty shillings. Its divisions were the half pound (ten shillings, Fr-215), crown (five shillings, shown here) and half crown (two and a half shillings, Fr-217), all in gold. This is a sixth issue.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: gold, 45 grains.
