COIN

Unique ID: DENO-47E183

Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Medieval Coin: Long Cross Penny probably of Edward IV

Medieval Coin: heavily clipped and incomplete silver penny probably of Edward IV (1461-1470; 1471-1483). York mint, episcopal issue with key to the right side of the bust. Due to heavy clipping and loss of details such as the inscription, mintmark and other markers around or on the bust this penny cannot be further identified.

It is possible that this coin may alternatively be an issue of Henry VI or Richard III who also had York episcopal issues with keys by the bust.
