FRAN in the legend. Type three or four? What would be the Everson attribution? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 10/27/2023 10:53 am This is a Rose farthing. The obverse has a single-arched crown and longer legends, while the reverse has a double rose, so it is Everson Rose Type 4a/3 (mule) 180; Spink 3204. These always have crescent/mullet and are common. It's not always so easy to see the detail, though. Edited by JohnConduitt 10/27/2023 10:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 10/27/2023 11:06 am Great, thank you again. It was CAROLVS and the inner circles which threw me, though I did think the size somewhat small for a Maltravers. Report this Post to the Staff
JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 10/27/2023 11:52 am Well, Lord Maltravers did make the Rose farthings. They all have inner circles too and the early ones have longer legends with CAROLVS MAG BRIT, FRAN HIB instead of CAROLV MA BRI, FRA HI. But you can't get a mule of a Maltravers and a Rose - the flans are vastly different and made in different ways - so the rose really does distinguish them. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks again John C. One or two more over the weekend.... Report this Post to the Staff
