This coin is a groat from Edward IV's doubles issue of 1467. This is the only type of groat of this issue. The legends are unblundered and read: Obverse :
EDWARD' D[EI]GRA DNS HYBERN Reverse :
CIVITAS DV[B]LINIE Unlike all the other issues of Edward there is no cross arms to divide up the reverse legend - so this issue uses the sun and rose motifs of Edward IV to divide the reverse legend into four sections. This coin is in About Fine (AF) condition and has a repaired break in the flan and a missing section. There are only six known specimens - three in public collections and three in private hands so holding out for a choice specimen is not really an option ! However the slightly less rare Double Groat of the same issue is a very impressive coin in high grade (illustrated) Hit your back button to return to the page you came from or select : |
