Obverse:

E D G ROSA SINE SPINA. Crowned bust l, rose behind. 10.5mm beaded inner circle.

Reverse:

CIVITAS LONDON. Square topped shield with date 1561 above, over long cross fourchee dividing the legend.

Split on bust (along cross fourchee on rev) otherwise much as struck, full flan, sharp detail and toned. Still a very pleasing example of this scarce issue.
