Description: | This coin has been classified as Class 5b. As a result of the strange lettering especially on the reverse, this coin may be a contemporary imitation, but it could also show a mistake in the original die-casting. Other contemporary imitations can be seen in J. J. North's article 'Some Imitations and Forgeries of the English and Irish Long Cross Pence of Henry III', The British Numismatic Journal, 1995. Class 5 is the largest and commonest group in the series of voided long-cross coins. As opposed to earlier classes, all coins now have a sceptre on the obverse. The obverse legend now starts at 10 o'clock with the letters III by the sceptre [l-c5] contemp. counterfeit?
