Notes:

Mint and moneyer described here are conjectural. Moneyer inscription visible as D[]TAN, which probably relates to DVRSTAN (Thurstan), a name found at Norwich, Stamford and Warwick. Of the mint name only an E is visible as the second letter, which is likely to relate to either VERI or WEARW, both for Warwick.
