BW 1963, Norweb -.

Fine to Good Fine, some verd. and damage to centre on both sides.  Exceedingly rare - we are not aware of any other example.

Williamson and others say that the device is "Pope's bust with triple crown", but it looks more like a fountain.  There was, however, a Pope's Head tavern in Moorfields.
