Description: | Henry III silver half penny (cut). A crown, star and legend is shown on the obverse. The reverse depicts six pellets intersected by a long cross. The style of the images and letterforms suggest this is a 1248 Class 2 Long cross coin that was minted in Gloucester. It is like one illustrated in 'English Hammered Coinage', Volume I (North 1960 page 197, plate XV1). The obverse legend would have read as 'HENRICUS REX TERCI' (North 1960). The remains of this are visible on this example and reads [---]RCI HEN[---]. The legend on the reverse gives the mint and moneyer and reads HIA[---]. The crown is similar to figure 1, page 166 of English Hammered Coinage'
