- GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Angel, ND (1509-26). London Mint; mm: castle. Henry VIII. NGC AU-53. S-2266; Fr-156; N-1761. First coinage. Obverse: St. Michael standing facing, head right, spearing dragon to lower right with spear topped by cross crosslet; Reverse: Ship bearing shield and cross; Һ and rose flanking cross. An excellent example of this minor gold issue, the present specimen offers a delightful golden-orange hue and a solid overall strike with very little evidence of handling. Though marked on the holder as an issue of Henry VII and S-2189, it is clearly an issue instead of the son, Henry VIII, as even the ordinal number "VIII" is visible in the obverse legend. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here. Click here for certification details from NGC.
