Description: | An extremely worn and broken Continental copy of a Medieval silver long cross penny. Initial mark: cross pattee. The style of the coin suggests a date from the mid-14th to 15th century AD. Traces of a flower on the right side of the crown on the obverse confirm Continental origins for this coin. The remains of the obverse legend reads: +: ID[...] [...] [...]IE (saltire stops). The reverse depicts a long cross penny with three pellets in each quadrant; the remains of the legend reads: [CIV]I-T[AS] [...]. Approximately half of the coin is missing due to stress along the centre line of the coin. Because of the combination of stops and obverse legend it is possible that this coin is imitating a Post Treaty penny of Edward III (1351-1361 AD); cf. North 1991 Vol 2, p48-49; Wren 1995, p8
