Description: | A complete struck/ hammered silver short cross cut halfpenny of John or Henry III, probably minted in London by an uncertain moneyer between AD 1204/5 - 1217 (diameter: 18mm; thickness: 0.5mm; weight: 0.61g). According to Wren and North (mentioned below), this coin can be classified as either a Class 5 or 6. The coin is a slightly worn but fair condition.
