Description: | Silver (sterling) farthing of either Edward I (very late possibly) or Edward II (probably). 1301 - 1314. Withers Type 30 l. Mint: London. Due to the unusual nature of the coin, images were sent to Paul and Bente Withers for their opinion. They comment: "It is difficult to be sure, but as far as I can be certain, it is a die duplicate of the coin that we illustrate [page 34 30l]. The effect that you notice was something that we spotted too - the 'shoulder' lines do not coincide with the cross on the reverse, so they
cannot be ghosting. We are not certain that they are shoulders either, because they line up with the crown sides, so they could easily be the engraver's guide lines. This is the best example of this that we have seen. A rather rare variety of a common type". Thanks are extended to Paul and Bente Withers for their time and opinion on this coin. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1301
