 ihs or ihc in centre. Date circa 1485.

 resembles, in general form, but the central device has a 

 glory of long rays filling the sexfoil depression, and on 

 the rim is an engraved legend. Central device various.

Type G (Form II.) An elaboration of type E. Single 



circular depression, with central device surrounded by 



a glory of long rays. On the rim is an engraved legend.
