| Beschrijving voorzijde | Mature crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth I facing left, rendered in the late Elizabethan portrait style characteristic of the sixth issue coinage. The queen is depicted wearing an elaborate ruff and richly ornamented dress, with an abundant profusion of hair framing her face beneath the royal crown. A beaded inner circle surrounds the bust, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery. The mintmark appears at the commencement of the legend, varying according to the period of striking. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The sixth issue of Elizabeth I's coinage (1592–1600) is distinguished by the addition of the key mintmark sequence running through those years — tun, woolpack, key, and anchor — each change signaling a new warden's term at the Tower Mint rather than any design revision. The Crown denomination in gold sat at five shillings, a value that made it functional for large transactions without requiring the unwieldy bulk of a sovereign.
Elizabeth's later coinage years coincided with sustained pressure on royal finances from the ongoing war in the Low Countries and the 1588 Armada campaigns. The mint worked under those fiscal strains, yet gold fineness held at 22 carat throughout — a standard England had maintained since Edward VI's recoinage of 1551.
