In the 2003 edition of his book “The Early British Bronze ‘Bun’ Pennies 1860 to 1865 and their Varieties”, John Jerrams’ census (up to September 2001) recorded 4 specimens.
Note: I previously included mention of coins for which I had no pictures but I have now removed reference to these as there was no proof that they were as described and also because they may possibly be included among the examples below
