Scottishmoney Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Neat piece of Edward VI's first "fine" ie sterling coinage. Before that his first pieces were of the coppernose variety that Pop's (Henry VIII)favoured ie debased to the point of being billon. I had a nice one similar to yours, but alas I sold it and wisht I hadn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I fell in love with the coin on the Bay and couldn't resist a bargain bid!! Nice coin, cheap to due to the minor creases that detract in no way from the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 A young King, with a superb portrait. Ironic that such a small monarch had such a big coin lol, about 32mm in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had great Crown coins, which were among the first dated coins in England in 1551, though they were dated in Roman numerals I believe.
