A New Die Pair for Edward III Berwick Pennies by G. O’Keefe, D. I. Greenhalgh & D. Martin
The extremely rare Edward III pennies of Berwick were described by Blunt in 1931 as class VIII and re-defined by Withers in 2006 as types 11a,b,c. The last of these,11c, had only been added to the corpus in 1999 by the discovery of a single example with a new obverse legend. This coin was described by Lord Stewartby as “unique” when it appeared in Part 4 of his sales at Spink in 2016. Now this only child has gained a sibling which, surprisingly, has lost its bear’s head!
