INIMICI., weight 11.09g (Schneider 2; N.2066; S.2609). Lightly toned, flan a little undulating, with a well-defined portrait, good very fine, very rare. Provenance: Ex James O'Byrne, Christies, 18th June 1963, lot 39Ex David Dupree Collection, purchased privately by Spink 1989. Ex Thos. Law, Stacks Bowers Ponterio, 13th August 2013, lot 126. The first indenture for coinage in the reign is dated 21st May 1603 and allows for a "crown" gold 22 carat Sovereign of twenty shillings, the only fine gold being the Angel and its fractions. The short-lived first issue features a legend mentioning England and Scotland separately, which only occurs in the first coinage of this King before he styles himself King of Great Britain from the second coinage onwards. The second bust mint mark lis coinage is a short-lived issue within this coinage only being issued for four and a half months, but alas there is no breakdown of output between the first mint mark of thistle and that of the lis. What we do know is only £31,609 of crown gold was made for all crown gold denominations across the first coinage which is only a small amount when compared with other later outputs in the other coinages.

Lot 46

Toned, some light weakness or imperfection in striking, otherwise good very fine and the first variety issued of the Laurel coinage. The original pyx trial records show that £109,653 of 22 carat crown gold was struck for this mint mark from 20th August 1619 until 31st March 1620, which is the smallest gold mintage when compared across the mint marks of the third coinage. Interestingly the spur rowel mint mark is also exclusively used for gold coins and did not feature in the silver at all.

Weakly struck on obverse with light die striations evident, a bold very fine, would seem to be the finest available, a superb example for the issue and extremely rare, less than five available to collectors. Provenance: Ex Major P. W. P. Carlyon-Britton, collection sold to Spink and son c.1922. Ex Richard Cyril Lockett, English collection part 2, Glendining, 11th-17th October 1956, lot 2204. Ex John G. Brooker Collection, S.C.B.I. volume 33, no. 126, sold privately to Spink and Son Ltd from 1978. Ex Spink Coin Auction 206, 2nd December 2010, lot 942. Ex A. H. Baldwin, Fixed Price List, Winter 2014, item BH092. The last coinage of the reign of Charles I has an output of 22 carat crown gold denominations under the mint mark sceptre; and though a smaller mintage when compared across the whole reign, the issue was still sizeable at circa £98,000 worth. The scant few survivors we have today is perhaps understandable as the Commonwealth took over in 1649, and no doubt called in much of the most recent money to re-coin.
