A silver long cross penny of Edwardian issue, dating from AD 1279-1377. Mint of London. The coin has been bent in half and reopened, possibly from the finder, as well as severely worn and a sub-rectangular segment of the coin has broken off, with other breaks visible but leaving the coin intact. Due to this significant damage, a full identification of the coin is difficult.
