Description: | This Edward I silver penny has a crowned bust and flattened, Maltese style, initial cross (Cross Pattee). The Initial cross conforms with North's Class x a-e type (North 1960,19, figure 18). The drapery is drawn in the style defined by North as Class IIIa (North1960, 19 figure 21). The side fleur on the crown conforms with the early class III (North 1960, 20 figure 28). The reverse inscription reads [CIVITAS LINCOL] indicating the coin was minted in Lincoln. This mint identification is restricted to Class III (c,d,f,g) (North 1960, 20). All these Class III characteristics suggest a date for the coin of between1280-1281. However that contradicts the date suggested by the obverse inscription (type size and wording) which reads [EDW R ANGL DNS HYB], in large lettering and identifies the penny as a Class I, 1013 (d) type dated to between May and December 1279. (North 1960, 21). The coin is somewhat worn, is tarnished dark green/brown and has one split running from the centre to the outer edge.
