A cut quarter / cut farthing of Henry II - Tealby Coinage - due to the nature of the cut quarter the coin cannot be further identified - the obverse shows a small area of the lower right hand side of the bust which suggests that it is more likely to be later within the coinage - Bust C, D or F. whilst the reverse inscription suggests the moneyer's name started with PI - this relatively rare name suggests the coin maybe a product of the following moneyers / mints: Colchester: Pieres London: Pieres, Pieres Mer & Pieres Sal Northampton: Pieres Norwich Picot
