An extremely worn Medieval silver cut half voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216-1272 AD). Obverse depicts a crowned ruler facing front with comma-shaped side curls, a crown with side pellets and a loose pelleted central fleur (c.f. North 1994, p225, Figs. 1, 4, and 5). Because the coin is cut in half, it is unknown whether the ruler held a sceptre. The reverse depicts a voided long cross with three pellets in each quadrant. The legends on both faces are incredibly worn, leaving a positive identification of this coin open to speculation. A general date can be given for this coin,…

A very worn and bent Medieval silver long cross penny, of unknown ruler, probably from Edward I-III (1272-1377 AD) . The exposed surface is the reverse face, reading: 'CIVI-[TAS] [CAN]-[T]OR, suggesting that the mint was Canterbury. Nothing is visible from the obverse face and the bend in the coin is filled with soil. The style of the 'C' in CIVITAS is open, indicating that it could date to as early as the reign of Edward I (1272-1307 AD); combined with a simple cross pattee and Canterbury mint a ruler later than Edward III is unlikely.

A very worn, complete silver Medieval penny, probably of Edward II (1307-1327 AD). Probably North Class 11b, c. 1312-c. 1314 AD.
