Description: | An unusual coin of halfpenny size perhaps most likely to be a contemporary copy of an Edward I Class IVe half penny; 1282-1289. This penny is believed to be a copy as it appears to have a copper-alloy core with a now worn silver coating rather than be of solid silver and it is also too thick for a normal hammered coin, it appears to have been stamped rather struck when made, it is not cast as some more modern copies often are, which perhaps implies that it is a contemporary copy, although it is unclear why such a copy would have been made.
