Description: | A Medieval silver long cross penny of Edward I dating from AD 1282-1289. Probably Class 4b-d. Mint of London. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, p. The obverse bust's face is narrow and oval with bushy hair and wide spread crown typical to Class 4b, with a thicker double-wedge collar more common to Class 4c. The crown has trifoliate side-fleurs with the central fleur cutting through the inner circle. It is possible there is a small pellet before CIVI on the reverse, however severe surface wear on the obverse before EDWR makes the identification of a pellet preceding the obverse legend impossible. The tail of the R in EDWR has an unusual shape, suggesting that the lettering form of the coin is more similar to Wren Class 4d; however, the A's are barred, which is unusual for Class 4 overall.
