A heavily clipped and worn silver shilling of Charles I (1625-1649), Exeter mint (1643-1646). The coin has been clipped right down to the inner circle so that all the inscriptions are missing, and the obverse of the coin is worn almost flat. The coin has also been bent into an S-shaped profile, perhaps to be used as a 'love token'. The obverse has a crowned bust facing left that appears to be from the outline a large Oxford type bust with X[II] behind the head. The reverse carries a garnished oval shield with the initials C and R on either side of the shield. Spink 3082

Silver cut half of a voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216-1272), Class II (1248), minted at Exeter. The letters NR are ligatured in the obverse legend and their position around the bust suggests the rest of the legend would have been [*h]ENRICVS [REX TERCI]. The only letters from the mint signature visible on the reverse are [PhI/LIP]/ON/ECC, which suggests the moneyer might be Philip, Robert or Walter, who all have six letters and minted Class II pennies in Exeter.

Cut farthing of a silver long cross penny of Henry III (1207-1272), Long Cross coinage (1247-1272), probably from Classes I - IV, as the inscription on the obverse appears to begin at 12 o'clock. From Class V onwards the inscription begins at 10 o'clock. The legends are very worn, but the letters hEN are visible on the obverse and ONE, with the O ligatured with the N, on the reverse. This arrangement appears with the mints of Exeter, Oxford and York. The Exeter mint was active during the production of Classes IIa-IIIc, and Oxford and York were active during the production of Classes I…
