| 正面描述 | Enthroned effigy of King Edward III facing front beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy adorned with fleur-de-lys finials, rendered in the decorative style characteristic of 14th-century English coinage. The king holds a sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left, symbols of royal authority. Two heraldic leopards flank the throne, one on each side of the monarch. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with a Gothic circular legend occupying the outer border of the field. |

Edward III's gold double-florin of 1344 — the "double leopard" — failed so completely that it was withdrawn from circulation within months, its exchange rate of six shillings deemed unworkable by English merchants accustomed to continental gold valuations. The entire original issue is now among the rarest medieval English coins known, with only a handful of genuine survivors.
This is a replica. Nothing about its collectibility derives from the original's scarcity.
