A resized image of Medieval silver coin; probably an Irish penny of Richard III or Henry VII

Part of a clipped medieval silver penny, probably an Irish issue of Richard III or Henry VII (1483 – 1509). Little of the legends survive. The crown is tall with a central fleur and bifoliate side fleurs. There appear to be symbols on the king’s shoulders, though these are not clear.
