Description: | A struck/ hammered silver penny of Edward I (diameter: 19mm; thickness: 0.9mm; weight: 1.34g). This coin has ben classified as a Class 2 (see Wren, 'The English Long Cross Pennies 1279-1489: Edward I to Henry VII', 1995, page 64 & North, 'English hammered Coinage: Volume 2: Edward I to Charles II: 1272-1662', 1991, page 28). North dates the minting of Class 2 in London between January to May 1280. There are particular charcteristics present which identify the coin as belonging to this class.
