County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but worn lead alloy contemporary copy of a silver coin of (probably) Edward I-III, of the period AD 1279-1377.

The reverse features a long cross dividing the legend and three pellets in each quarter. Part of the legend appears to read RVI - possibly a mispelt CIVITAS element of alternatively VI[LLA]...R.
