Owner Comments:

Gloucestershire, D&H-8, MS-64 BN PL. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Just as nice as the last but for the spots on the upper right. Great mirrors and almost looks like it's been bronzed. Whitefriars, also known as White Friers or The College of Carmelites, Gloucester, England, was a Carmelite friary of which nothing now survives.
The Friary was outside the north gate of the city and was founded around 1268 or 1269, probably by Queen Eleanor, Sir Thomas Gifford (or Giffard), and Sir Thomas Berkeley. By 1337 there were 31 friars resident. Can't seem to find anything about the building. I'll keep looking.
