Description: | Here we have a hammered silver penny of Henry III (1216-72). This coin is from the new Long Cross coinage introduced from 1247. It was in 1247 that the new design had the cross on the reverse taken to the edge of the coin in an attempt to reduce 'Clipping'. This example is badly damaged, having lost a portion of the coin in antiquity.The obverse has an additional pellet below the crown that may be the result of a double strike and the voided long cross has a pellet at the centre. The Obverse discoloration may also indicate damage from heat or fire, being a darker grey/purple. Weight less than 0.5g.
