Obverse:

HENRICVS R. Crowned bust, looking left holding sceptre.

 

Reverse:

ACVS ON TETFORD. Quadrilateral cross fleury, star in centre, annulets in angles.

 

Very fine and better than the current Spink plate coin, toned and unique. Currently the only example of Acus at Thetford for this type.
