| Lot description: IRELAND. Edward V. April–June 1483. AR Groat (23mm, 1.88 g, 10h). Suns and Roses/Rose on cross coinage. Drogheda mint. Crowned facing bust; stars to upper left and lower right, roses to upper right and lower left / Long cross pattée with rose at center. D&F 163 (Edward IV); SCBC 6392. Lightly toned, rough and porous, bent and flattened with associated stress cracks. VF. Very rare. In 1483, Edward IV prohibited the operations of the Drogheda mint. Accordingly, the Suns and Roses/Rose on cross groats and pennies must date to the brief reign of Edward V. The mint apparently took the king's death as an opportunity to resume production. Estimate: 2000 USD |  |
