Elizabeth I Penny 1582-83 - Mintmarked BELL
Sale!
The Tudor Elizabeth I Penny (dated from 1582-83) is mintmarked with a bell (on the obverse, at a 12 o'clock position). It was part of the sixth issue of coins during her reign. The coin features a tall bust type 3B facing left on the obverse, without a rose or date, and a square-topped shield of royal arms with a Cross Fourche’e through on the reverse. The mintmark is considered very scarce.
I have included an image with a US dime to show comparative sizes.
