Tudor - Elizabeth I

ELIZABETH I, THREEPENCE, 1562, PHEON MINT MARK, 'Z' USED FOR '2', HIGH GRADE

Good portrait with unusual use of 'Z' for '2'.

Reverse with alternative date mark. Pheon mint mark.

   £150 (+P&P)

Elizabeth I Silver Hammered Portcullis Halfpenny, 1602, 7th Issue, 2 mm

Your chance to own one of Britains smallest, and therefore scarcest, tudor coins. At just 11mm (0.14g) it was easily lost and disliked by the people. The '2' is the mint mark and not the denomination. 

Considered good very fine, but with a ragged edge. Scarce.

Elizabeth I, Silver Shilling, Escallop, 1584-6

Although this has a weak strike or portrait is worn, the legend is unusual as it reads ELIZB instead of ELIZAB! 

The reverse is better. Overall, a well centred and nicely shaped coin.

31mm, 5.6g

  £60

Elizabeth I, Shilling, Escallop, 1584-6

Here the legend is the usual ELIZAB. Scratches to obverse, nice reverse.

Good reverse and well-centred coin.

31mm, 5.53g

  £65

Elizabeth I, Shilling, Martlet, 1560-61

Here we have the normal legend of ELIZABETH and second issue, martlet mint mark. Rather scratched (? contemporary vandalism) but still a lovely coin.

Reverse

31mm, 6g
