Edward IV, Yorkist King Second Reign of 1471-1483
London, Heraldic Cinquefoil mintmark. “E” and rose beside ship’s mast.
A coin of exquisite beauty, struck on a broad flan without cracks or chips, tops of some letters in the legends off flan, with a marvelously detailed image of St Michael piercing the evil dragon using a long pointed staff (cross at top); on reverse, the warship is evenly detailed; the surfaces are very choice and glow with satiny luster.
