A sample was presented at the Society of Antiquaries that is part of an exchequer account.
Other forms of tallying were chirographs (a wavy cut through the word chirograph separated copies of the text) and indentures (wavy cuts on the top of the manuscript pages of the copies).
Of course, not just the king kept accounts; the Bursae of Durham, for example, is equally be worthy of study.
