1st Coinage of 1509-26, Portcullis Crowned mm.
Obv: × ҺEnRIC’ × VIII’ × DI’ × GRA’ × REX × AGL’ × Z × F’ ×, Archangel Michael slaying the dragon to right with spear terminating in cross crosslet.
Rev: PER × CRVCE’ × TVA’ × SALVA × nOS × XPE’ × REDE’, ship bearing shield and cross, Һ and rose to left and right of cross.
A pleasing example retaining some luster, on a nice round flan with good outer beaded rims, the dragon-devil not sharp at the head but Saint Michael as well as the royal shield on reverse both well detailed overall, and the mintmark on each side is also sharp. Old-gold color as well. A classic of the Tudor Age.
S-2265, North-1760
