The same reverse die as Schneider 651. Whitton (BNJ XXVI, page 181 variant 4), attributes this coin to the Posthumous period

based on the use of lozenge stops (plate X no.12). North catalogues this piece in the Third Coinage of Henry based on the use of

the pellet in annulet initial mark which the current Spink catalogue also reflects.
