COIN HOARD
Unique ID: NMS-1D4E24
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Three pennies of Henry III, all voided long cross issues. These were found close together and are all in good condition. Each belongs to class 5g and, on the balance of probabilities, they represent part of either a deposited hoard or a lost purse.
Catalogue:
Class 5a3, moneyer Ricard of London RIC ARD ONL VND 1.34g
Class 5b2, moneyer Ion of Canterbury ION ON CAN [TE]R 1.35g
Class 5b2, moneyer Davi of London DAV ION LVN DEN 1.27g
Date: The condition of the coins suggests they were lost or deposited in the mid 1250s. They would certainly not have been in circulation after 1279 when the sterling long cross issues of Edward I replaced these voided long cross issues.
Treasure:
Two or more silver or gold coins lost or deposited together over three hundred years ago qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. These three coins fall into that category.
