This coin was discussed by Boyd in his short note in the Numismatic Chronicle (1900, pp.267-8), where he notes that ‘this well-known moneyer is recorded by Hildebrand as striking this type at Hertford and Sudbury, the British Museum has one struck in London, and Wallingford can now be added to the list’.
