lot # 684 - great britain hammered henry viii

Thursday Oct 23, 2014 09:00 Europe/London

Groat, MM Lis (1544-47 issues), a highly unusual coin, very late or posthumous, with an exaggeratedly large bust, dominated by the face of the King with very prominent eyebrows and whiskers. Possibly Bristol or Canterbury, but an un-recorded type. A bold VF, the reverse a little off-centre. Impressive!
Estimated Price: £700.00 - 1000.00
