Description: | A struck/ hammered sterling imitation Edwardian penny minted in Yves by Gaucher of Chatillon (Florennes) between 1313-22 AD (diameter: 17.9mm; thickness: 0.5mm; weight: 1.05g). There is a crowned bust facing fowards on the obverse, with a long cross dividing the coin in four on the reverse. The coin is slightly worn but in a fair condition.
