RVFI. or RVLI. above a lion standing to the right; within a border formed by two concentric circles connected by radiating curved lines. Rev.

Nos. 13, 14. No. 24. Obv. A square with incurved sides ; within it a similar square with an annulet in the centre ; the whole within a beaded circle. Rev. RVFI. (?) Eagle to the left, with wings partly expanded; its head to the right, holding a branch (?) in its beak. JE 14, 10 grains. Found near Biggleswade, Beds.
