Vern's Comments:

Unlisted. Edges aren't scalloped so it's not BHM 272 or D&H 70, though that's the closest. No mention of gilt copper. It's smaller than a large farthing and much smaller than the 22mm mentioned in BHM.

England — Gloucestershire

D & H 70var — Cheltenham

 
O:    Similar to last, but with W. A. & CO. under the bust.
 
R:    Shield as before, but the date follows the legend.
