1679 Maundy 4d. The F of FRA looks like an E - to read ERA. However, that would be the wrong
assumption for this 'error' strike and the reasons are given below.

| So what is the F of FRA in this variety ? |
The 'E' is the wrong shape for genuine E used at that time. |
The correct shape for an 'E' - note the kick out to the front on the foot. |

Could the variety be F over I - to the left side of the F ? |
Or could the E be over & H - as mistake from a 'H'IB repair ? |

My feeling are that it is that the F of FRA is over an H ! An Interesting variety and having handled
over 30 x 1679 4ds - this is the only example I have seen of this hard to explain oddity !
