COIN

Unique ID: WREX-D46880

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

Carl Savage notes that coins of class 4a normally have a couple of non-parallel curls but there is a small sub-group within 4a that has single curls like this example and it is not fully understood. There is also a colon stop before the moneyers name and there appears to be no initial cross on the rev. The moneyer is Turkil? and the mint is possibly York. As Turkil only minted class 4a coins the coin can be assigned to class 4a rather than 4b.
