Anglo-Gallic - Aquitaine. Edward III (1327-1377) gold Guyennois d'Or (Pavillon d'Or) ND (1362-1377) MS63+ NGC, Bordeaux mint, Fr-1, Dup-1054C, Elias-50 (R), W&F-50 3/o. 3.90gm. Third type. ЄD' | D | ORA RЄX A | G | LI | Є | DO ΛQVI: T | A | IЄ, crowned, armored figure of Edward standing right beneath Gothic dais, sword in right hand, shield in left; a pair of lions laying right and left at his feet / +GLIΛ: In: ЄX: CЄLCIS: DЄO: X: In TЄRΛ: PΛX: hOIBVS (double pellet-within-annulet stops), large cross fleury with pellet within quatrefoil at center, lis in first and fourth angles, lions in second and third, all within tressure. A positively beautiful presentation of this rare and conditionally sensitive Anglo-Gallic gold type, preserving incredible originality throughout. A bit weakly struck in the obverse legends, this is more than made up for by the depth of the obverse designs and the clarity of the reverse, both of which show heavy die polish. Almost certainly one of the most carefully produced die pairs for the emission, given that Withers and Ford describe it as the only pair they were aware of to feature barred E's consistently in the legends. Definitely a treasure for the connoisseur of Anglo-French coinage. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
