Description: | A complete cut silver halfpenny of Henry III (1216-1272). Class 3 (1248-50). Possibly a contemporary copy as the reverse inscription - probably ( )L hER ?? does not appear to be consistent with a recognised legend (e.g. see Wren, 1993, "The Voided Long-Cross Coinage 1247-1279"). In his article: ??Some imitations and forgeries of the English and Irish Long Cross Pence of Henry III??, North (1996, p.83) states that the range of anonymous imitations is extremely wide, varying from near perfect copies of the prototypes through those with irregular or blundered legends (usually on the reverse only) to the crudest which are probably local forgeries. Anonymous imitations can be separated from the named continental imitations which identify the authority under which they were struck.
North (ibid. p93) illustrates a possible ligation of ENR seen on the reverse of one imitation/forgery as E joined to R with a downwards sloping bar with a pellet at its centre. There does not appear to be such ligation between the E and R on this coin. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
