<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 299319, member: 112"]That is only a partial diagnostic, but perhaps the easiest to recognize at a glance. The legends are also quite different. If you refer to this page - <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=4531&highlight=rose+noble&page=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=4531&highlight=rose+noble&page=2" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>, post #17 - you will find the various legends for the British coinage. While the legends for the Gorinchem coin were - </p><p>obverse - ED - WARD - DI - GRA - REX - ANGL - Z - FRAN - DNS - IB</p><p><br /></p><p>reverse - IHD - AVT - TRANSIENS - PER - MEDIVM - ILLORV - IBAT</p><p><br /></p><p>And there is one other variant from the Gorinchem mint with a slightly different obverse legend as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now as to rarity, don't bother looking. The Gorinchem coins are listed, using Delmonte's rarity scale and he is the definitive resource for these coins, as being an R4, which is described as of the highest rarity with only 2 or 3 specimens known. </p><p><br /></p><p>And that is why I was rather excited when you posted a picture of one.
