Charles II (1660-1685), Crown, 1676 VICESIMO OCTAVO, third laureate and draped bust right, rev. B of BR over an uncertain letter, and FRA over HIB error, crowned shields cruciform, six strings to harp, lettered edge downwards, 29.18g, 7h (Bull 397A [R2]; ESC 51; Spink 3358), scratches in reverse field and weakness to peripheries, otherwise toned, strictly good, but the die-sinker's error rare

Provenance
Hanley Stamp Centre, 4 September 1999



ESC does not mention the possibility that there is a FRA over HIB. Bull does note a F over H, and here we clearly have a A over B. This clearly indicates FRA over HIB.
