Anglo-Gallic. Edward III (1327-1362, 1372-1377). Gros au léopard passant. 1.98 gms. Cross pattée intersecting only the inner legend, ED-REX-ANG-LIE, rev.

This rare type was imitated in Bergerac by Henry as Earl of Lancaster and must therefore be dated to the 1347-1351 period. Near Very Fine. For the type it is choice -- nearly all specimens are poorly struck on irregular flans -- and is likely the finest specimen that has been offered in public auction - see Elias plate to compare.
