| This hitherto unknown specimen (presented to the writer by his friend, the late John Toplis, Esq., Nottingham) is in unusually fine condition; but why Burton (or, as it is now called, Burton-OVery) should be stated to be "near (Market-) Harboro," eight and a half miles distant, and not near Leicester, between seven and eight miles, it is difficult to explain. The Coleman family are still landowners in the parish, and tablets to their memory exist in the parish church. |

| The fragment of this token in Leicester Museum, as noted by North, had the inscription so broken, and the device so worn away, as to be only partially discerible, and hence was omitted altogether by Boyne in his former edition. The specimen in the writer's possession enables him now to supply what has hitherto been wanting. |
