Silver sterling penny of Edward IV (1461-70, 1471-83) from the York Episcopal mint of Archbishop George Neville (1465-1476). The identification of the mint was made by the recognition of a G and a key by the King's bust. Unfortunately the coin is too worn to allow it to be more closely identified and dated.
