Description: | A silver penny probably of Henry VII (1485-1509), Henry V (1413-22) or Henry IV (1399-1413) or Henry VI (1422-61). Obverse: front facing crowned bust, detail partly obscured by the reverse cross having been struck/hammered through. A cross plain as an initial mark, and two single saltire stops visible, one before and one after 'REX'. Legend reads Henr[...]xREXx[AN]GL. Reverse: solid cross extending to edge of coin with three pellets closely grouped together per quarter (i.e. between arms of the cross). Legend reads CIVI/TAS/[.../...]. The second part of the legend might read [LON/DON] however this is very uncertain as only the bottom parts of the letters remain the upper parts having been clipped off. Die axis 3 o'clock, edges appear to have been clipped as edge occurs in the middle of legend letters in places - present diameter is c.13.65mm, thickness 0.56mm, weight 0.44g.
