A Half groat of Henry VII. Obverse depicts the King on a throne, but this face has been worn almost smooth and it is difficult to pick out the finer detail. Reverse depicts a royal shield over long cross which divides the legend and keys on either side of the bottom of the shield. Minted in Durham under either Bishop Sherwood or Bishop Fox. Some clipping between 3 and 9 o'clock particularly noticeable on Reverse. Spink 2008 p.204
