A medieval silver short cross penny, probably of class 7c, currently dated to c. AD1236-1242 (and therefore issued by Henry III).

The coin has a wide, irregular flan, and the reverse die has been misaligned during striking. It measures 18mm x17mm, with a thickness of 0.8mm, and a mass of 1.4g. North 980.
