Description: | A very worn Medieval silver short cross 'Tealby' cut farthing, dating to the reign of King Henry II (c. 1158-1180 AD). As this coin is very worn, little detail is legible, except for a saltire cross pattee decorating the remaining short cross quadrant. Obv. small portion of crown; legend: [...] E [...]. The farthing measures 11.16 mm in length, making the approximate diameter of the penny 22.32 mm; it is 0.6 mm thick and weighs 0.35 grams. Spink (2001, p. 143) notes that 'Tealby' pennies were often struck poorly and this may have contributed to the illegibility of this farthing.
