The clipping has spared the monarch's name, but all that's really visible from these pics is a final letter D, which doesn't rule out RICARD. Will consider other possibilities.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 9:09 pm There's certainly a mark to the right of the king's neck. A lis? A trefoil? Don't believe it is a key. Seems like the main other possibility is Edward IV. Do think we can see EBO at the lower left of the reverse pic, for CIVITAS EBORACI. Report this Post to the Staff
