Description: | An incomplete, clipped, doublestruck and very worn silver penny of Richard II (1377-1399), type Ib or local dies (North 1329b or 1330) minted at York. Ref: North 1994: 62-63; Purvey 1962: 90-94.The condition of the coin makes it difficult to identify with confidence. The motif on the breast is most likely a cross rather than a lis and there are two visible large pellets either side of the shoulders, both features disctinctive of type Ib and local dies. Given the general rarities of different varieties it is more likely a coin produced from local dies but this remains uncertain. The coin appears to have been doublestruck with the RIC of RICARDVS misaligned.
