A medieval silver farthing of Edward II (1307-1327). Class 11, Withers type 30 (North 1070/1) dating to 1310-1314. Mint of London. North (1991, 38)
It has been struck on an irregular flan which has not been trimmed. Furthermore, the obverse bears an off-centre strike of the reverse die including part of the design and legend, and the reverse itself has been double struck. This notwithstanding it presumably reached Hampshire as part of the circulating currency and has therefore been noted as a Find of Note. The piece measures 12.4mm in length, 10.6mm in width, 0.6mm thick, and it weighs 0.41g
This is a find of note and has been designated: For inclusion in British Numismatic Journal ‘Coin Register’
