Description: | A small hoard of silver medieval long cross pennies, subsequently melted after deposition (cause unknown) and now forming an irregular mass of silver. It is impossible to tell how many coins the hoard contains, but it is estimated to be in the region of twenty. It is possible to make out the edges of some individual coins, but identification rests with the upper most coin. Here it is possible to see the long cross reverse with a quatrefoil at the centre which informs that this coin at least is from the York mint. Dr Martin Allen of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, has identified the coin as being post 1353 in date.The mass of silver is now 40.04mm long, 21.48mm wide and 14.56mm thick. The identifiable coin has a surviving diameter of 12.96mm. The object weighs 33.16g.
