Description: | A clipped late Medieval silver half groat, probably of Henry VII (1485-1509 AD). Canterbury Mint, of Episcopal Issue by Archbiship Morton (1486-1500 AD) as indicated by the 'M' in the centre of the reverse. Initial mark is probably a long cross fichee, dating the coin more specifically to between c. 1485-1490 AD.The obverse depicts a bust with double-arched unjewelled crown facing with possible quattrefoil on either side of the neck; legend reads: + [......] DI GR[A] REX ANGL [Z] FRA. The end to this legend is more common to that of Henry VIII; however, it is unlikely that this coin should be attributed to the later period. There are lis in the cusps. The reverse depicts a long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant and a Lombardic 'M' in the centre; the outer legend reads: POS[VI] DEVM A-DIVTOR-EM MEV; inner legend reads: CIVITAS CANTOR. Cf. North 1991, Vol II, No. 1711.
