Aquitaine. Edward III (1325-1377) Gros a la Couronne ND (late 1357) VF Details (Environmental Damage) NGC, Elias-Unl., W&F-77D 1/a (R5). 27mm. 2.41gm. Latin cross type. An incredibly iconic type, likely imitating the contemporary Gros a la Couronne of Jean II (cf. Dup-303), and according to Withers and Ford, this is the rarest variety, with a pellet to either side of the central fleur in the crown. Almost surely quite conservatively graded, die polish lines clear in the fields and razor-sharp edges to the devices, and an overall minimal level of rub, most of which is obscured by some slight porosity to the surfaces.
