S-1503; North-1232; Fr-95. King standing on ship, holding sword and shield; Reverse: ‘E’ at center of cross; alternating crowns and lis within eight arches. Cross Potent. A truly exemplary coin with time capsule qualities that immediately propels the viewer back to the 14th century when it was minted. Struck from fresh dies, the degree of detail present is simply astonishing. Well centered with all of the legends crisp, sharp and on the flan. The intended message this coin was meant to convey is immediately evident. Of the most regal qualities, even the denomination implies how few the intended recipients were of this spectacular Noble coinage. With waves so clear they can nearly be heard lapping against the waterline of Edwards ship, and details to the effigy and facial features that are almost life like. It will take a moment of forced composure to break eye contact with this piece while returning mentally to the 21st century. Bidders should take heed that coins of this caliber are very seldom offered, and once acquired tend to remain within collections for decades. Do not miss this opportunity to make your collection the next destination for this extraordinary piece. PCGS MS-63 Secure Holder.
