COIN

Unique ID: BERK-E7A868

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Notes:

This reverse die was used with 3 different obverses, two equating to Long Cross Class 3 (or their imitations) and one paired with a Class 5 (North 1995: 88. no. 44). 

The attribution to Boppard in the Lower Rhinleland was made 'with some certainty' by Lord Stewartby, possibly under William of Holland (1248-56) (North 1995: 88, 102), although it was noted that the town is outside the normal area known to produce Long Cross imitations.
