Extremely Rare Mint Mark 2 (1602) Silver Crown of Queen Elizabeth IElizabeth I (1558-1603), silver Crown of Five Shillings, ornate crowned bust left, holding orb and sceptre, crown breaks inner beaded circle, initial mark 2 (1602), Latin legend and beaded border surrounding, ELIZABETH: D: G: ANG: FRA: ET: HIBER: REGINA:2: rev. long cross fourchée under quartered shield of arms, Latin legend and beaded borders surrounding, :2: POSVI: DEVM: AD IVTORE M: MEVM: weight 29.94g (N.2012; S.2582A). Toned, a few light short striations in the metal around face and on cheek and a few on reverse, one weak area in strike around chin and the upper left quarter of arms on reverse, otherwise almost extremely fine and a very pleasing example of this the final and rarest mint mark for the Elizabethan Crown, at least twenty times rarer than the mint mark 1, very rare with an excellent provenance. The silver Crowns were struck right near the end of the reign of Elizabeth I in the last issue of her coinage. They are dated by the mint marks which are 1 for 1601, or 2 for 1602 in the Julian calendar in use at that time. This is also evidenced by F. R. Cooper who studied the coinage in depth throughout the 1960s and produced his synopsis of the coinage, published through the Spink Numismatic Circular in June 1971. In his article he states that it seems only one pair of dies were used for the mint mark 2 issue, whereas he records 5 obverse dies and 6 reverses which are used in varying combinations for mint mark 1, of which a sixth obverse has since been discovered. The mint mark 2 Crowns like we have for sale here, are therefore thought to be at least twenty times rarer than the companion mint mark 1 pieces.

Alchemy.Using found tools rather than conventional brushes, Nicola’s contemporary abstract art is frequently highly textured and many pieces feature her signature gold leaf in amongst the mixed media. Nicola saw that the body shape of our sheep was very similar to a Shetland Ram which is a  brown/black base so she decided to decorate it using a black base layer and added real gold leaf flecks on the wool and all gold leaf horns which makes a dramatic effect.The sheep's main bodies measure approximately 90cm long x 72cm high x 30cm wide. Artist:Nicola Warner.Nicola Warner has lived in rural Suffolk since the 1970s and has also spent much time in Cornwall over the last 2 decades. Having sketched and painted since her childhood, her love of art led her to a 3 year period of running her own gallery in Framlingham, Suffolk. Drawing her inspiration from the vastly different shorelines of both Suffolk and Cornwall, she also benefits from the natural forms and botanical shapes she encounters in the rambling garden outside her studio. Using found tools rather than conventional brushes, Nicola’s contemporary abstract art is frequently highly textured and many pieces feature her signature gold leaf in amongst the mixed media to which she is drawn. Intuitive and using a varied colour palette, her work appeals to both corporate and private collectors. Sponsor:Coes.We are a privately owned, independent family of stores specialising in menswear, womenswear, sportswear and school uniforms across East Anglia, this makes us the destination of choice for style conscious individuals.
