GREAT BRITAIN. Sovereign (30 Shillings), ND (1592-95). London Mint; mm: tun. Elizabeth I. PCGS AU-55. S-2529; Fr-209; N-2003. Sixth issue. Weight: 15.37 gms.

One of the more popular and desirable gold issues of this famous queen, the present specimen yields an elegant and well engraved design, with even the monarchs facial details evident. Given its broad and thin nature, the fact that it has survived so wholesomely and problem-free to this day is rather remarkable. As such, an example that will wholly delight the advanced collectors, and one which will undoubtedly serve as a keystone to any stellar British hammered or world gold cabinet in general. <strong>To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=Salton+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
