Nice design on a different flan shape. Like that!

 

Yes/ Klippe coins are nice/ but $$$$
The Salzburg 24 Dukaten from 1628 are breathtaking. Seems there are so many coins that one can never afford to own.....pity

 

Finally got to a point where the issue doesn't overlap the turn of the decade.

Henry VIII first coinage 'Sovereign' penny with mm. Spur Rowel from Durham ecclesiastic mint under Bishop Thomas Wolsey, so 1523-6. These are decidedly rare as I only have 7 in the database, one chipped, one pierced, one pierced & chipped, one short of flan and one double struck, leaving this and the Stewartby coin as the two best. The latter probably wins as it has a full round flan, but this has slightly higher relief.


Sticking with the same mint and bishop, a second coinage 'Sovereign' penny struck 1526-9 with mm.Crescent


And a further example, this time with mm.Trefoil

 

Henry VIII groat (1526-44). This will be my entry for the next 3 decades, as my next dated coin is in the 1550s. I'll only post it once, though.

@messydesk That Henry VIII is beautiful. One of my favorites.

 

@panzerman That dukat is sweet. Looks like you got into your DeLorean and picked it up from the celator.

 

This coin was "unsold" nomisma auction/ its "unique"/ amazing! Florence

 

Actually/ I was doing my weights this afternoon/ and pulled a lower back muscle/ pretty sore at the moment. Thats why I am posting stuff, catching up. If, I had a time machine....and a cloak of invisibility I would go back to Poland in 1621 and steal a freshly minted AV 100 Dukaten 1621/ Sigismund III/ Chocim Mint/ or 1683 Transylvania and snap up a mint state 1689 AV 100 Dukaten Michal Apafi
Only to Putin's trillions better then being in lawncare services....

 

Henry VIII second coinage halfpenny from the Tower mint with mm. sunburst, which dates it to 1534. Quite rare with maybe a dozen known.

A York halfpenny struck under Archbishop Edward Lee (1531-4)


And a halfgroat from the same place
