[QUOTE="AnYangMan, post: 2852257, member: 87271"]Nice lot man! I agree that individually these would have done great as well. Congrats! I’m afraid my collection really lacks some nice Anglo-Gallics, apparently I focus more on mainland Britain. But, do coins of the English model, but minted in Calais, also count? If so, I have two. The pictures are taken from the auction house, so I really need to reshoot them. In hand they just look that little bit different: [ATTACH=full]677136[/ATTACH] [B]Henry VI[/B] (1422 – 1461 and 1470 -1471), AR Halfpenny (0.43 gram), [B]Annulet issue [/B](1422 – 1427). Spink 1849, Calais mint. Obv. Usual regal bust, annulets next to neck, inscription: “[I]+HENRIC : REX : ANGL[/I]”. Rev. Extra annulets in fields 1 and 3, “[I]VIL – LA : - CAL – IS :[/I]”. Double saltire interpunction, mintmark plain cross. [ATTACH=full]677137[/ATTACH] [B]Henry VI [/B](1422 – 1461 and 1470 -1471), AR Groat (3.35 gram), [B]Rosette-Mascle issue [/B](1427 – 1430).

Mintmark Cross patonce/plain cross. And just to finish off my Henry VI set, a slightly rarer issue, not from Calais: [ATTACH=full]677138[/ATTACH] [B]Henry VI[/B] (1422 – 1461 and 1470 -1471), AR Groat (3.27 gram), [B]Cross-Pellet issue[/B] (1454 – 1460).
