Chris Rudd (ABC) ‘Herringbone Head Left’.

Talbot Large Flan D. Bury D, E, F, G, Large Flan B (I, II, III) and D and Spiral were issued contemporaneously in small quantities in a period of local production. Bury D (from Snettisham) and F were early, the diamond suggesting a relationship with Large Flan A. Bury G (from Bury St Edmunds) was also likely early, as was Spiral. Bury E has two different styles of die. Large Flan B (from around Fincham) has hollow stars like later Large Flan A and stylistic links to Large Flan C and are possibly contemporaneous. Large Flan D (from the Fens) has the open horse's head of the earlier period but is derived from Large Flan A and is later. Possibly cut by the same engraver as the Large Flan quarter.
