Ancient, British and World Coins and Banknotes

James I (1603-1625), Crown, mm. thistle, 29.65g/9h (FRC VIII/XIV [not in Sale]; N 2120; S 2664). Obverse about fine, reverse fine, an extremely rare die-combination (£500-600)

The cataloguer has seen only one other coin from this pair of dies; Cooper never noted a specimen, but believed that one coin from the Lingford collection (lot 58) might have been from the same rev. die
