Obverse:
HENRIC DI GRA REX ANGL Z FRANC. Standard type A - Facing crowned king standing in ship, holding sword and shield quartered with arms of England and France. Annulet by sword arm, trefoil stops.
Reverse:
DOMINE NE IN FVRORE TVO ARGVAS ME. Floriated cross with lis at ends, crowned lions between, h to centre surrounded by treasure of eight arches. Annulet in first spandrel, annulet stops.
Better than good very fine, well centered, deep and sharp strike, thin edge at 1 to 3 o'clock resulting in softer strike area (corresponds to reverse), outstanding bust detail, good provenance. Overall an exceptional example with almost no signs of circulation, rare thus.
