A very worn and slightly clipped medieval silver penny of Edward I (1272-1307) of Class 3f-5 (not further defined), minted at Canterbury c.1280-1291.

The obverse field is very worn and the little of the bust or crown can be confidently discerned. Although there is little evidence for a pellet in the drapery (as in Class 5) this was not certain.
