'Boy Bishop' penny token, c.15.5mm diameter and 1.2mm thick, showing on the reverse a long cross with four quadrants at the centre, each containing three pellets and enclosed by a solid ring. The marginal legend reads AVE/REX/GEN/TIS. The obverse has a marginal inscription, SANCTV...NICHOLA.. surrounding a mitre, but without a ring separating the legend from the central field. In many respects it is most like Rigold 1978 Plate IX.J although the absence of the ring is a notable difference to any which he publishes.
