Charlton identifies this token as PC-5D.
Under this umbrella, Doctor Courteau identifies varities 159-207 inclusive.
Dr. Courteau commences by separating this series into two groupings according
to whether or not a Dot is within the Obverse Rosettes. Varieties 159-189 shew
no Dot, whereas varieties 190-207 shew a Dot inside the Obverse Rosettes.
Next, Dr. Courteau ascertains the terminal Dot or Dots to the Anchor Rope (to the
lower left-side of the Battle-Axe Handle ((above the juncture of the Cornucopiae)).
The terminal consists either of one single Dot, or a Dot with a small line attached,
or a Downward pointing Dash, or two small Dots, or two medium sized Dots, or two
large Dots, or two and a half Dots, or three downward pointing Dots, or three horizontal
Dots.
The token in question shews no Dots within the Obverse Rosettes. The terminal of the
Anchor Rope appears to end with one Dot. This criteria narrows the search to varieties
259-164 inclusive. This is variety 159, to wit:
159. Obv. Man's L. foot is lacking or is weakly struck. Left rein to horse's bridle
is very light. Fig. 7 is relatively close to and higher than 5. Perf. and brok. dies.
With several cracks, especially thro N, U and fig 5.
Rev. Perfect outline to U. J. below letters, only the upper of St. Andrew's cross frame
shows below E. The rope around battle-axe handle lacks many dots and ends in a singular one.
The K of BANK r. stand is double cut. Die-crack connects the word ONE at bottom. R-4.
This is the exact quotation of Dr. Courteau, and you may notice his verbiage takes some
getting used to.
In any event, I have documented twelve different Die-Cracks to this variety, and at present,
these involve three die-states. I trust additional ensamples will further re-define the die-
states.
Your token is a nice VF 20.
