<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 727098, member: 112&quot;]Eduard - </p><p><br /></p><p>There are 3 varieties for Gorinchem Rose Noble. The most common of these is what is known as the Flemish Noble - Delmonte 825ter. To look at them you would think that they are English Nobles as they have the same legends. But these are easily distinguished by having a larger flan and the quality of workmanship is lacking. These are rated as R1 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next is also an R4 coin - Delmonte 825, and it is distinguished by its obv legend - EDWARD D G REG ANG M DNI AR A V DNS I D ( Edward dei gratia, rex angliae, moneta domini Arkelensis ad valorem Edwardi domini Iberniae). They are also known as the Arkel imitations. One known example is in the La Haye collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is the 3rd variety, an R4 - Delmonte 825bis. It has a variance in the obv legend - EDWARD DI GRA REX ANGL Z FRAN DNS IB. One example is in the British Museum, I sold mine (whereabouts unknown at this time but I believe it was sold by Louis Teller in a private sale in 2007), your example, and now Conrad&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a Delmonte R4 means there are 2 or 3 examples known to exist. We now know of 4, 3 of which were or are owned by members of this forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>So as you can see Eduard, the legends on your coin confirm the variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
