Richard I Silver Penny Fine

Name: Richard I Silver Penny Fine
SKU: CRA2904
Price: 245.00 GBP

Richard, son of Henry II, was well known for his bravery in battle, indeed he spent most of his reign in battle which is how he came to be known as Richard “The Lionheart”. The only coins of his reign are the shortcross penny, they are difficult to find as he only reigned from 1189-1199. These pennies have the facing portrait of Richard on one side and a short cross on the other side. Richard didn’t adopt his own name on the coins, instead using that of his father – HENRICVS, as did his brother John that succeeded him. A portion of the pennies were cut in half and a quarter to be used as small change. All the coins on offer are real and genuine and over 800 years old. Our Richard I Silver Pennies are available here in Fine condition. They haven’t been offered as a feature for 6 years, so make the most of this rare opportunity.

16x Folding Magnifying Glass

This is the type of magnifying glass that dealers take with them when they go out to look at coins. It is a 16 x Wide Field folding magnifying glass. The way to use it is to put the glass near your eye and then bring the thing you want to see into the glass until it is focused. These come to us from the United States. The quality is very good and it folds into itself to protect the lens.

Victoria, Crown (Jubilee Head) Fine

As most collectors know, Queen Victoria kept her youthful portrait on coinage from 1837 until 1887. It was only later in 1887, when she was celebrating her Golden Jubilee, that she allowed the portrait to be changed. This new portrait became known as the Jubilee Head portrait. We have Fine examples of the largest Silver coin issued at the time, the Crown or Five Shilling piece. Normally they come in Very Good condition, our examples are in Fine quality, which will please most collectors. Dates will be of our choice, but this Jubilee Head Crown was only issued from 1887-1892. They are struck in Sterling Silver and are above average for the coin. Our supplies are limited.

George IV, Silver Crown Fine

In the reign of King George IV, he only issued crowns for circulation for two years 1821 and 1822. These are difficult to get as it was such a short mintage. We have a small supply of this Sterling Silver Crown and we have them in Fine condition. Dates are of our choice, but if you order more than one coin, we will try and give you one of each date. A short series and not an easy one to find.
