Description: | A silver penny, very worn and also badly scratched in places. Possibly a coin of Edward III, Richard II or III or Henry VI or VII. The upper most fourth of the coin is missing (with a jagged edge) and therefore the initial mark is lost making identification difficult. Obverse: [...]VS R[...] with two x's (double Saltire), one above the other, between the S and R. The S and R with double x's are at the 5 o'clock position below the bust (ie just off centre to the right). Bust forward facing with oval face, all detail worn smooth, bushy hair to right of head can just be seen and might be in two parts/strands. Reverse: Solid cross extending to edge of coin with three pellets closely grouped together per quarter (i.e. between arms of the cross). Legend: [...](arm of cross)(double Saltire)DIVI[...]. Diameter 15.96mm, thickness 0.64mm, weight 0.72g, die axis 8 o'clock.
