COIN

Unique ID: LVPL-B980B5

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Silver farthing of one of the Edwards from the Medieval period. This coin is square in shape due to clipping so much of the legend has been lost. The obverse appears to have been double struck as the crown is blurred. There is still mud on this coin as it was photographed at a rally.
