<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 4649283, member: 96746&quot;]An Exeter or Truro crown with barrel garniture. These are currently assigned to Exeter having spent most of the 20th century assigned to Truro. I am not convinced one way or the other at the moment. The contraction stops in the legends are a stop and comma, but the comma has a distinctly T shaped form. The Truro A1 crown (S3055) has a different style horseman to the B to D obverse crowns, so is presumably by a different engraver. But the contraction stops on obverses A &amp; B are both stop and &#039;T&#039; which could refer to Truro. The 3/4 facing king seen on crown obverses B-D is also seen on halfcrowns that are confidently variously assigned to Truro and Exeter. Obverse C has the comma overcut with a second stop but occurs on 1644 dated coins (C8 to C15) which are definitely Exeter as well as the undated C3 to C7a, so is this a change in engraver or mint? It&#039;s a mess, but I can see a case for the B2 being Truro.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever, ex Banes 152, Morrieson 441, Paget 108, Crutchley (? no details) and the Cornwall Collection (Noble 2009).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
