Much clipped contemporary copy (possibly from a continental source) of a silver short cross penny of King John, Class Va. The reasons that this may be a forgery is the very large and atypical coarse portrait on the obverse and the combination of moneyer and mint on the reverse. There is not a moneyer whose initials start WA[...]E at the mint at Exeter ([E]X on reverse of coin). It is therefore suggested that this coin is a contemporary forgery and formed from elements taken from several coins of the period. Thanks are extended to Dr David Symons Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for…

Silver cut half penny of John, probably Class 5b -6a, Mint Chichester, moneyer unknown. 1204/5-1217. The dating of this coin is based on the style of the closed E on the obverse, with a very long central bar (fig. 10 North) , and the closed C with an ornate closure (fig 27). The form of these letters are used during class 6 although the use of the closed E is only recorded in Class 6a. However, the mint at Chichester is only open during the period of Class 5b (1204/5 - 1209).

If the mint is Winchester, as the W on the reverse could imply, then the moneyer is likely to be either Lukas or Miles. The coin type is therefore likely to fit into class 5. This supposition is because there are only two moneyers with a name finishing in the letter S to work at Winchester and Winchester is the only mint recorded with moneyers with a name finishing in the letter S in this period .

Silver cut half penny probably of King John struck by the moneyer Iohan (Johan) at an uncertain mint - most probably Canterbury but this part of the coin is cut away. From the look and feel of the lettering and portrait this coin is likely to belong to Short Cross Class 5 - struck between 1204-1207 - this is one of the most common classes and Canterbury is also a prolific mint at this time.
