Wiltshire, Salisbury, E[dward] F[aulconer], Farthing, 0.82g/9h (N –; D –). Crude style perhaps indicative of local fabrication, outer legends mostly missing but centres about fine, of the highest rarity, previously unpublished £100-150

Provenance: Bt A. Cherry.

This intriguing piece, with its unusual coat of arms reminiscent of that of the Tallowchandlers company and large central initials E.M.F., has most of the legends missing, but the word SARVM is visible on the reverse
