Obv.-A full-faced diademed bust of the king, the right hand raised, the left holding a cross. Legend REX SALOMONI. Rev.+ PANONIA. Read.-1. A paper by Mr. Bergne, on an unpublished penny of Richard III., in the collection of Mr. Rashleigh.

Mr. Rashleigh's coin is not only from a regal mint, but is struck at London, and is moreover, as to condition, the finest known specimen of the penny of Richard III; every letter of legend, both on obverse and reverse, being distinctly legible.
