Obverse:
CAROLVS D G MAG BRIT FRAN ET HIB REX. Crude horseman left, W and grass below
Reverse:
CHRISTO AVSPICE REGNO. Crowned square-topped shield, looped garniture to sides.
Good fine, small dig to centre of rev, same obv dies as Brooker 1141-42 and the Spink plate coin. Overall a good example of this rare issue, seldom offered for sale.
Ex Lyall Collection, bt Baldwins 1968
Ex H M Lingford Collection (Baldwins Sep 1943)
Notes:
Tickets state Weymouth as these coins were, for many years attributed to there - see Brooker xlii-iv for more information.
Lyall's ticket says ‘From the Morrieson Collection not in sale - see BNJ IV, pl. III’ - reference not correct and refers to Oxford coinage.
