Description: | A worn silver cut halfpenny of Henry III (AD 1216-1272), dating to the period AD 1247-1272. 'Voided' long cross issue without sceptre (Class I-IIIc). The arrangement of letters on the reverse of the coins has made identification of the moneyer and mint difficult. The letters are OR(ligated)W / TON(ligated). Neither of these arrangements is listed in Wren (1993) however it seems likely that ORW is for the mint town of Norwich, and the moneyer is Jon, with the T being a misrepresentation of the letter 'I'. Jon struck through classes IIb-IIIc at Norwich, and the style of the bust indicates that this is a class IIIb issue, whcih dates from c. AD 1248-1250. North N987.
