Type 6a (between 1292 and 1296) - Spink 1401, North 1030
Coins of type 6a continue to use a wide spread antler-like crown like that of group 5, but the lettering is now small. The type is divided into two varieties, 6a1 and 6a2, the first rare, the second extremely rare. 6a1 has an almost plain initial cross, a large oval face of coarse workmanship, and no contractive marks. 6a2 has an initial cross pattée, a face of better style, and comma contractive marks. Both varieties have almond-shaped pupils to the eyes. The letter A is unbarred, C and E are round, N is normal, S is non-composite.
