Provenance: Found in Norfolk.

Although the last digit of the date is not conclusive, the top of the 3 is visible and the coin appears to be from the same reverse die as DNW 190, lot 100, where the footnote states ‘The late vendor [Walter Wilkinson] suggested that this is one of three specimens known and struck from a different reverse die to the Shuttlewood coin’
