Nicely toned example with a grain like appearance, slightly worn obverse die. London B style bust where legend begins at 12 o’clock. Reverse, excellent in the script, no detracting factors, classic Southwark quatrefoil. Moneyers name spelt Liofric as opposed to the more common spelling Leofric. Very fine.
