Owner Comments:

Gloucestershire, D&H-1, MS-64 BN. Edge: Plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon. - You just gotta love these penny tokens. They got the whole cathedral on this token and in the greatest detail. A work of art. The Gloucester, spelled Glocester on token, Cathedral is the glory of the city and mixes Norman, Transitional, Perpendicular, and Decorated architectural styles. The tower bell, called "The Great Peter" weighing over 3 tons is the oldest medeval one in the country. Even deep brown toning makes this token jump out of the white holder.
