            Lot 2104Great Britain. Ryal or Rose-Noble, ND. S.1952; Fr-133. 
            Edward IV, First Reign, 1461-1470. Light coinage. Flemish imitative 
            coinage. Ruler in ship. Reverse: Ornamental cross. As England's 
            European trade steadily increased during the 14th and 15th centuries 
            large quantities of English coins which were known for their 
            quality, good weight and metal fineness ended up in Europe, despite 
            attempts to control their movement! Gold Nobles were so popular that 
            they were imitated and produced in the Low Countries (now Belgium 
            and Holland), but the style was quite different. This is an example 
            of one of these interesting pieces. Struck on a large flan, with 
            nice detail, this is a popular and desirable coin. NGC graded EF-45. 

            Estimated Value $1,800-2,200. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $1,650
