Author: ANCIENT ROMAN.Halfcrown: Elizabeth I (obverse); Crowned Shield of Arms (reverse), 1592-95. England, Elizabeth I, 1558-1603. Gold; diameter: 1.5 cm (9/16 in.). This is the second type of gold halfcrown, showing the queen in ornate style. She often wore elaborate and luxuriously decorated dresses, many of them heavily bejeweled as seen here. The mint mark, visible just above the crown on the reverse, is a tun or barrel. This helps identify the date the coin was issued as the mint mark changed every few years.ducat.

August III Sas (król polski ; 1733-1763), ruler, Croll, Ernest Dietrich (fl. 1753-1763), moneyerHalf Sovereign: Edward VI (obverse); Crowned Royal Arms (reverse), 1549-50. England, Edward VI, 1547-1553. Gold; diameter: 2.9 cm (1 1/8 in.). During the first coinage period, April 1547 to January 1549, debased coinage was still issued. Part of it still had the name and portrait of Henry VIII; part of it the name of Henry, but a youthful portrait; and part of it the name of Edward. The series is thus complex and some of the chronology open to doubt. In 1549, the beginning of the second coinage period, the first step was taken to restore the standard of the coinage. Gold, including the piece shown, was struck in 22 ct. This coin shows the young king uncrowned, the only occasion on which the king's portrait is so shown.Gdańsk ducat.
