Obv: View of church, CHURCH below. Rev: View of building, EAST MILL above, BRECHIN 1801 in two lines below. Edge: PAYABLE BY SMITH AND WILSON X X X.
Good Extremely Fine. Choice with tad red in legends. Scarce. Ex. Longman, ex. Fawcett/Litman, ex. Spence.
Struck for Colin Smith and Patrick Wilson, both owners of a flax spinning mill in Brechin. This variety was likely a die trial for the D&H 8 and 9, which show the obverse legend PAYABLE BY SMITH AND WILSON. Hard to find in high grade.
