Description: | A remnant of a medieval hammered silver short cross penny, possibly from the reign of King Henry III (1216-72). That evidence is based on the style of the scant remains of pearls to the crown and the sceptre being clearly outside of the inner circle (see Seaby type 7 late). I would not rule out the possibility of it being King John, type 5b.
A little over half of the coin remains and the break is from antiquity and damage rather than the typical ??half penny?? cut. The coin is heavily worn and further distorted by impact damage. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
