Sorry, I did not see this request for info before. This I believe is a Henry VI Groat, Rosette issue so dating 1430 to 1431, minted in London. Ref is Spink 1858. Not particularly rare - Henry VI groats are not scarce surprisingly. My book (2018 issue) gives £60 in Fine and £200 in VF - I would put this better than Fine with a very nice portrait.
Recent addition and a coin I've been after for a long time - a 1927 threepence. Mintage: 15,022. Issued only in Proof Sets but this one appears to have got into circulation!
Not one of my rarest British coins, but definitely one of my prettiest. This lovely toner, sometimes categorized as a pattern, is a very proof-like 1848 "Godless" florin, ESC 801, which is the milled-edge variety. This type, without the usual "Dei Gratia" in the obverse legend, was issued again in 1849. After that, from 1851-1887, God was reinstated and all the legends appeared in the same lettering as the beloved Gothic Crown of 1847 and 1853. (Yes, some doubling can be seen on the obverse...not a plus, to my mind, and the only reason I could afford this coin some 35-40 years ago.)
