Norfolk 48, Norwich (Dalton & Hamer, page 215)
Denomination: halfpenny, scarcity: Rare (R)
48. O: A mounted dragoon. PRO REGE ET PATRIA. Ex.: QUEENS BAYS. Similar to
No. 46, but the cockade in this instance points to the foot of the T, and
the point of the sword is near the E of "ET." (Same as No. 47)
R: View of the barracks. NORWICH BARRACKS 1793 upon a label above.
The building on left is farther from edge, the post on right of entrance
is taller and farther from the others, but may best be identified by the
lines marking the brickwork of wall being sunken, whereas in the former
they were raised.
E: Plain (not in collar).
Nos. 48, R.
