Denomination: halfpenny, scarcity: Very rare (RR)

R: A thistle between sprigs. HALFPENNY.
E: COVENTRY TOKEN and a wavy line.
41a. E: Plain.
This was not included in Pye, and as Snow's name is not in the Directory for the
period, it is probably a specimen made for sale to collectors.
Some specimens show traces of filing on the edge; this may account for some with
plain edge.
