Description: | A cut long cross silver halfpenny, mint of York. The obverse shows the neck and shoulders of a forward facing bust with curled hair. The legend has double saltire stops and reads: [RI]CARDVS R[EX ANGLIE]. The reverse shows a long cross with three pellets in each angle and reads: [CIVITAS EB]ORACI. The coin is of Richard II.The ragged break edge suggests that the coin may have broken after being bent rather than purposely cut. Bent coins of this period are associated with pilgrimage and holy vows.
