Description: | A silver short cross coin of 1180-1247 AD. Only part of the obverse and reverse types can be seen making identification of the moneyer and portrait of the King extremely problematic. From the reverse description can be made out the letters RE or KE for the end of the moneyer's name, followed by ON.LV for the London mint. It is possible, therefore, that this example relates to the Type 5b-c (moneyer Alisandre, although apparently not from the London mint) or 4-5b (Fulke), but other moneyers with names ending in similar letters (for example Gefrei (class 1c), Giffrei (class 7b-7c), Iefrei (class 1a-b)) are also possibilities. See Wren (1992: 26-32) for a list of short cross moneyers. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
