This particular specimen is a highly desirable example of the Series E variety, most notable for the clear, distinct fleur-de-lis positioned centrally on the King's breast. Regional issues from York are notoriously prone to weak strikes, making the level of facial detail and central definition on this coin highly unusual and highly collectible.


  • Obverse : Facing crowned bust of the King within a crisp double tressure of nine arches, trefoil on cusps, and a distinct fleur-de-lis on the breast. Outer beaded circle. - Obverse Legend: +EDWARDVS ◦ REX ◦ AIIGLI ◦ Z ◦ FRACI (Annulet stops) 


• Reverse  Long cross pattée extending to the edge of the coin, with three sharp, perfectly formed silver pellets nestled in each inner angle. - Outer Legend: +POS VI ◦ DEV ◦ ADIVT OREm ("I have made God my helper") - Inner Legend: CIVI TAS EBO RACI ("City of York")

Weight: 2.16 grams
