Description: | A silver cut short-cross halfpenny dating to the medieval period. The surviving half of the coin does not include the moneyer's name, nor is the head of the king particularly visible, making identification difficult. The form of the X in the obverse legend suggests a Class 1b or 1c (c. 1180-1189, Henry II), or possibly Class 6c or 6d (1208-1218; John or Henry III). The latter class 6 coins of John are more common than those of Richard II or early Henry III, however the condition of the coin makes this a speculative indentification.
