<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 4657730, member: 96746&quot;]It&#039;s there. Comes under S3124 - Tall horse with mane blown forward, nothing below mm. lis. Rev. small crowned oval shield, mm. various. In the list of marks at the start of the Charles I section it is no.64. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question of marks and their meaning is moot. I&#039;ve spent the last 10 years trying to make sense of them and can assign some marks to places and or engravers based on punches. This however is one of the more enigmatic marks and is also rare, appearing on only two halfcrowns (the other one has gone to ground since 1952 and I don&#039;t know where it is), one shilling (paired with a bird obverse and this in the BM), then either 8 or 9 sixpences (I think 8, but can&#039;t prove the connection between two provenances). The mark only appears on the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>It could refer to Radnor or Radnorshire which has the Boar on the coat of arms, or it could be on the arms of a wealthy benefactor. It could be the latter if bird is assigned to Flintshire. A lot more work is required. There was so much symbolism in the period, that I think there must be a reason for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nice B7 halfcrown.
