B. Roth Collection, Part I, Sotheby Auction, 19-20 July 1917, lot 340 (part); R.A. Macpherson Collection, DNW Auction 83, 30 September 2009, lot 3993 [from Baldwin September 1988]

Classes A and B are very closely connected as are Classes C and D. It is likely that the former were produced under James Mulekyn, while the latter were produced under Bonagius of Florence who arrived in Edinburgh from Edward III’s mint at Durham c. 1364.
