Obv: View of a church, ST. PAULS COVENT GARDEN above, LONDON below. Rev: View of same church in ruins, DESTROY’D, BY, FIRE, SEPR. 17TH around, 1795 below. Edge: Milled.
Extremely Fine. Some red. Proof-like. Obverse shows large die crack along right rim.
The obverse shows the beautiful Inigo Jones church that was built in 1633 and then destroyed by fire in 1795, as shown on the reverse. Bell posits that these are actually Spence dies, as they were made by James in 1795, his die sinker.
