Description: | White MetalProbable Medallion. Probably replica coin with suspension loop soldered on at 1 O'clock (on the obverse). The coin is an apparently cast copy of a voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216-1272) Class 3; a modern 'mintmark' has not been observed, though may be obscured by solder. The definition of letters is atypically clear, and the obverse appears to bear extensive traces of thin gold wash. The formal record of the coin would be as follows:Obverse description: Facing bust no sceptre, hair of two curls and pellets either side; beard of seven larger and eight smaller pellets.Obverse inscription: [H]ENRICVSREX.IIIReverse description: Voided long cross, three pellets in each angle.Reverse inscription: hE[N]/RIO/NLV/NDEDiameter: 18.5mm, Weight (with loop): 1.62gms, die axis: 8
