Description: | Medieval coin; struck silver farthing of Edward II, Withers' type 30, dated to c.1310-1314. London mint. This coin is unusually heavy for a farthing but the flan is too small for a halfpenny. I therefore suspect it to be a farthing, although it is by no means certain!Obv.

Three pellets in each quadrant.CIVI/TAS/LON/DONDiameter 12.3mm, thickness 0.7mm, weight 0.47gRef: Withers 'Farthings and Halfpennies; Edward I and II' page 32, coin type 30
