Wear has obscured the device depicted and much of the inscription. However, it may be a knight or figure facing right. All that can be read is: [...]FERENT[...] This may originally have been the relatively common anonymous inscription CREDE FERENTI (Believe the Bearer); compare WAW-01DC13 and the several listed in Harvey and McGuinness 1996, 114).Diameter 15.49mm, thickness 2.44mm, weight 3.6g.
