Very worn and heavily clipped penny of Edward IV o(second reign) dating from c. 1471-83. Minted at York under either Archbishop George Neville, Lawrence Booth or Thomas Rotherham. There is a key to the R of the bust but the symbol to the L is too worn to make out. However, it seems most likely to be the letter T in which case it would be Thomas Rotherham type XXI (4).
