Description: | Medieval coin: Silver hammered penny of Henry VI minted at York. Due to the condition of the coin, it is uncertain if there are any marks or symbols to the side of the crown however there is possibly a pellet to each side. There are no marks or symbols by the neck. The leaf on the breast has been omitted. The reverse cross has a central quatrefoil with pellet. The coin is most likely a 'leaf-pellet' penny due to the positioning of saltires in the legend and the ?pellets to either side of the crown. This type of penny dates from 1445-1454 during the first reign of Henry VI. North 1510 also see Wren 1995 page 118-9.
