Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A very worn medieval silver farthing of uncertain ruler, Edward I to Richard II (1272-1399). Given the weight and diameter it seems most likely that the coin belongs earlier in the sequence than later and is probably of Edward I, perhaps belonging to Withers types 28-31. The mint is London.
