Description: | Medieval Papal bulla of Boniface IX (1389 - 1404). A reasonably well-preserved bulla which despite having some corrosion of the lead surface, still has enough of the original patina preserved to show the reading very clearly. The obverse reads BONI/FATIUS/•PP•VIIII. The reverse is of the normal design with the figures of SS Paul and Peter in pelleted aureoles with SPA SPE above, although the corrosion is slightly worse than on the obverse. Neither side is preserved well enough to enable any die flaws to be observed.Weight 43.206g. Diameter 37.5. Obverse sealed at 2° to the reverse, a tight sealing. Bullae of Boniface IX are relatively common, fourteen now having been recorded from the Diocese of Norwich.
