A worn silver penny probably of Henry VI, probably 'Annulet issue', mint of York, struck 1413-1422. The coin is very worn but a feint annulet can be seen by the hair on the left; the right side is illegible. There also appears to be an extra pellet in one quarter on the reverse. The coin is pierced just above the top left of the crown.
