Silver cut half of a short cross penny of John (1199-1216), Class V (1210-1215), moneyer Henricus, Rhuddlan mint in Wales, Mass 2186A, which is an example of another cut half where half of the legends are missing, which may be like this example which appears to be overstamped so that the both legends have duplicated letters.
