Description: | A very worn and clipped Medieval long cross penny, possibly of Edward IV (1461-1483 AD). Due to the clipping around its perimeter and the degree of wear, it is impossible to discern its obverse and reverse legends. However, a 'B' placed at the centre of the reverse long cross indicates that the mint was Durham, limiting the ruler to Edward IV-VI; the coin can be further identified by the trefoil visible on either side of the neck. However, an additional smaller pellet in the centre of the set of three in each quadrant on the reverse is attributed by Wren (1995, p60) to Edward III, not IV. The reverse is also slightly double-struck. Finally, the initial mark on this coin is missing due to clipping, making a full identification impossible.Cf. Wren 1995, Class VIIIi and VIIIii. Information from North 1991, Vol II, p88-89 does not match.
