GREAT BRITAIN. Pound, ND (1595-98). London Mint; mm: key over erased woolpack. Elizabeth I. NGC AU-58. S-2534; Fr-214; N-2008. Sixth issue. Obverse: Crowned and mantled bust left, wearing ruffled collar; Reverse: Crowned and garnished square-topped coat-of-arms; E-R across field. Incredibly impressive and majestic, this gold issue of 20 Shillings presents a sharp, exacting strike with a subtle orange-gold tone that intensifies nearer the devices. So well pronounced is the strike that the erased woolpack mintmark is still discernable over the key which replaced it. No matter in which direction it is cradled in ones hand, luster emanates captivatingly from the protected areas, offering a great overall eye appeal and viewing experience. <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
