Ex Chris Rudd (List 115, no.21/13180 with coin ticket). From the private collection of John Meredith, acquired since the 1990s; thence by descent.
Chris Rudd's footnote: 'Our so-called 'stickman' is of course a five-pointed star. This is a really sharp example and extraordinarily light in weight. Indeed it is only a quarter of the weight of a full silver unit. Maybe we should call it a 'minim' rather than a half unit?'
