A Medieval possible farthing or halfpenny of Henry VIII (1509-1547), perhaps second coinage.
The coin's size resembles that of a farthing, but the description ending in "SPIA" matches halfpennys.
Obverse: Bust of king facing forward and wearing double looped crown. Legend is mostly clipped but "SPIA" is still visible
Reverse: Long cross separating coin into quadrants. Each quadrant has three pellets. "LON DON" still visible on legend.
