COIN

Unique ID: YORYM-CA091D

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A clipped and pierced silver penny of an uncertain late medieval ruler, possibly Edward III to Richard III, dating to the period AD 1351 - 1485. Long cross reverse. Mint uncertain.

Notes:

The coin has been pierced, indicating a secondary function which would normally indicate that it should be considered as potential Treasure (under Treasure Act 1996). However, coins dating after AD1180 with similar piercings are also known in hoards of currency, suggesting that such objects could re-enter circulation as coins. It therefore cannot be said with confidence whether this particular object was regarded as a coin or as another type of object at the time that the coin was deposited.
