| Obverse description | The armorial shield of the Worshipful Company of Bakers (Bakers' Livery Company) displayed centrally in the field, featuring the company's heraldic device. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the shield, reading REBEKKA . MVRRIL. The flan is irregular and the strike characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century privately issued copper trade tokens. |
