Sincona sale 79, lot 1045

This specimen was lot 1045 in Sincona sale 79 (Zürich, October 2022), where it sold for 9,000 CHF (about US$10,787 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN | Königreich, Edward IV. First Reign, 1461-1470. Ryal or Rose noble n. d. (1466-1467), Bristol. Light coinage. Mintmark crown. Large fleurs in sprandels. Rare. NGC AU58. Well struck." 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 It was superseded in 1470 by the gold angel.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 Bristol mint placed a "B" in the waves below the ship; York used a a Gothic "Є" (for Eboracum), Coventry a "C" and Norwich an "n".

Recorded mintage: unknown.
