| Reverse description | Central quartered royal shield of arms, displaying the arms of France (fleurs-de-lis) and England (lions passant guardant) in alternating quarters, set upon a long cross fourchee that extends to the beaded inner circle and divides the field into four sections. The initial mark of Archbishop Warham (W) appears in the upper left quarter of the cross. A beaded inner circle surrounds the shield, with the Latin mint legend running around the outer field. The design is consistent with standard early Tudor ecclesiastical mint reverse types as catalogued under Spink 2322. |
