Obverse:

CNVT REX ANGLORVM. Crowned bust left within quatrefoil.

 

Reverse:

LVFINC ON PINCS. Long cross over quatrefoil with pellet apex.

 

Single peck mark on the reverse and a few light marks otherwise good very fine and a very rare moneyer for Winchester. Harvey traced only three examples, two of which were from this die pair Aa (1017). Just one example appears in any SCBI collection - SCBI 36 State Museum, Berlin - number 662, where it was catalogued as having "no identifiable moneyer’s name".
