Gloucestershire, D&H-2, MS-65 BN PL. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon. - Gotta love this one just like the last one. In fact, it's even better. Higher grade and prooflike. They once again got the whole church and school on the token and with details to boot. Another work of art. This old church lies in the heart of the city. Many generations have worshipped here and left their mark on its fabric. Here you see a tall Tudor east window. At the opposite end of the church a Norman doorway faces the street. In between is a 14th-century tower with delicate tracery. Inside you will find monuments to the great and good including brasses to John and Joan Cooke, founders of the Crypt Grammar School.
