Neatly struck on a carefully prepared planchet, this specimen has all the appearance of an early trial for the new portrait - an idea supported by Potter and Winstanley who state "[the coins] must be in the nature of trial pieces, as they do not bear marks in the regular series" (BNJ vol. 31, 1962, p.110). They are conventionally dated c. 1504
