Description: | Medieval coin; struck silver farthing of Edward II, Withers?? type 30, dated to c.1310-1314. London mint. This coin is unusually heavy for a farthing but the flan is too small for a halfpenny. I therefore suspect it to be a farthing, although it is by no means certain!
Obv. Crowned bust of king facing
EDWARDVS REX
Rev. Long cross pattee which divides the legend. Three pellets in each quadrant.
CIVI/TAS/LON/DON
Diameter 12.3mm, thickness 0.7mm, weight 0.47g
