Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I, an engraved silver counter, crudely in imitation of those by Simon de Passe, facing bust on ruff and arched crown, rev., REGINA, 22mm; others from the same set (4), each with male portrait, revs., armorial shields (2), Tudor rose and coronet; further counters (2), cross / rose and shield / rose, all 22mm, perhaps 18th century. Very fine and possibly a unique group. (7)

A most unusual and un-explained group or part set.
