Description: | 12 silver coins, 11 of which are medieval. The remaining coin may an extremely worn coin of the 17th or early 18th century surviving long in currency. It must be regarded as a separate item and does not belong with the rest of the group. It should not be considered as Treasure.The remaining coins are all official English issues of the late 13th and early 14th century, belonging to the coinage of Edward I and Edward II. This forms a continuous series beginning in 1279 with Edward I's recoinage of the older Long Cross pennies and has been subdivided into successive classes by modern numismatists. There are 12 pennies (several fragmentary) and one halfpenny. The latest coin present is of class 14, dated to c. 1317 to 1320. A detailed list is accompanies this report.As official English (or Irish - see catalogue) coins, these will be of the traditional sterling standard, over 90% fine metal. The coins would all have been in currency together and the later classes of the series, class 10 onwards, are heavily represented.Catalogue[The two coins indicated with an asterisk were submitted at a later stage.]Edward I and Edward IIPenniesClass Mint Weight1.
