1690 Maundy 4d - Obv. 'G' below bust & stop after D. G. A very unusual combinations of font sizes have been used. GVLIEL are medium size. M is small (as used for MARIA). ET is large ! MA are small. R is medium. IA is again small. D. G. are medium. Rev. Again a combination of font sizes are used. MAG. BR. FR. are medium. ET. HIB. REX. ET. REGINA are small. Date: .1690. Very high stop before date (after REGINA) & the 6 appears to be over a 5. This I consider is probably impossible and the more likely explanation is that it was a trial punch of a 6 administered with on the left side in contact with a SMALL 6 die ! However it appears easier to list this as 6 over 5 !
This date variety is listed but with NO stop after G of D. G
