The guy was a tyrant it has to be said. Commodus and Caligula would have had a right party.
The strike quality on the Edward II's is alot poorer in comparison to Edward I. Nice Edward II coins are hard to find.
Don't knock it, it's alot better than most Edward II offerings i'm used to seeing. I'd have bought that one too. I dunno why but when looking...
