Obverse:

THE COMMONWEALTH OF ENGLAND. Shield of St. George in wreath of palm and laurel.

Reverse:

1653 GOD WITH US. Joined shields of St. George and Ireland with value mark XX above.

Almost very fine, near full outer beading, deep and sharp legend, very little signs of circulation, thinner flan on shield leading to softer strike -corresponding on rev, minor rim splits, in the same collection for over 25 years. Overall an exceptional example of this scarce and sought after issue.
