In this warrant two coins are specifically ordered, the Gold Broad and the Silver Crown. The order has drawings of the Crown, interestingly with an armoured bust of Cromwell with laurel wreath inspired by the Dunbar medal; and the Gold Broad of 20-Shillings.

Dies were made as a direct result of this warrant for the Gold Broad of 20-Shillings as we have offered here.

The Heavy Coinage gold coins issued by Henry IV are amongst the greatest rarities in the regular denominations of the medieval gold series. Being followed by a lighter gold coinage almost ensured that very few heavy coins survived intact to the modern day, unless deposited in a hoard or as part of a shipwreck pre-1412 in date. The Calais mint heavy Gold Nobles are far rarer than the London mint issue. The Calais mint closed from March 1404 until it was reopened by Henry VI in 1422, and the account of gold coined has survived revealing a total face value in heavy gold of all denominations at a mere £15,643 from 1399-1404 or 55 months of production. In a similar period (upto late 1403) the London Tower Mint produced £27,950 worth of the heavy gold and though later accounts are not quite complete (38 months missing), the total known to have been coined in London upto September 1408 was £45,096 (107 months), as shown in the Schneider Sylloge Volume I page 23. Christopher Blunt in his article “The Heavy Gold Coinage of Henry IV” in the British Numismatic Journal Volume 24, 1946, pages 23-27, illustrates the Heavy Gold Noble housed at British Museum which does not appear to be as nice as the example offered here. This coin also appears to be on par in preservation with the Schneider Collection example (also the Spink Catalogue plate coin), and this coin is fuller of flan showing most of the outer beaded border, and is evidently struck later than the Schneider example, because it has a couple of raised flaws subsequent to the Schneider example. The only other example we can trace of specifically the Calais heavy gold in private hands has a weaker and off-centre reverse, sold in the MPO Auction, 30 May 2003, lot 1426, front cover coin.
