Cloth Seal, James I, Alnage, Lion, Crown

Cloth Seal, James I, Alnage, Crown, Lion, TH Ligature, Image & Found by Derfel.
Found on Thames Foreshore, 16mm.

WB ligature (drawn) // crowned lion passant // crown // (T)H ligature star beneath

The WB ligature on the rivet disc looks to have been scratched with a heated implement. The TH ligature on the rove disc side has been stamped and the T is not certain as the horizontal is missing however this is often the case with this ligature (see Egan 1987, p274). If it is a T then it extends this alnager's date range back to the reign of James I.
