London groat of Henry VII

This hammered silver coin came in from Rob Warwick, who asked for a valuation in order to pass on a figure to the owner of the land on which the coin was found.

Rob’s find is a London groat of Henry VII. On the reverse there are double-saltire stops before CIVI and LOn and after TAS; this arrangement of stops is unusual. The mint mark on both sides is a pansy. The top arch of the crown does not show up as it is in line with the inner circle but this groat is an example of type IIIc.

Valuation

The coin has a few weak spots and it has been struck slightly off centre but it is otherwise in about VF condition and has a really good portrait of King Henry. As it stands, a likely pre-sale auction estimate should be £150.
