1658 Great Britain Oliver Cromwell Silver Halfcrown – nEF/EF
A truely breathtaking example of this famous issue, with an impressive portrait of the Lord Protectorate.
Displaying very attractive toning with golden yellow hues and touches of electric blue near date, noticeably clear fields with the minutest of surface markings.
Portrait well struck up, the graining on Cromwell’s collar very pleasing. Strong in all areas, the fields reflective.
Graded near Extremely Fine, the reverse Extremely Fine, always a scarce issue and ever harder to find in condition as found here.
Ex. Lloyd Bennett ‘Coin of Britain’ (dealer), with a ticket in his hand.
