St Thomas Apostle, Radulphus Olliffus, FECIT LON (made in Lon[don]), 1629 – man in armour, right arm supporting pike/crosslet formy within lozenge fleurdelisée (N.7634; BW. Uncertain 115), fine to very fine, of neat execution, very rare Estimate £ 80-100 Attributed to Ralph Oliffe, cooper and ´gent.´, d. 1636. Ralph Oliffe of Shipton Oliffe, Glos., perhaps the issuer´s uncle, was in 1608 a trained soldier and pikeman. This piece is perhaps a medalet: it seems unlikely to have been intended as a token coin
