A silver cut half of a voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216-1272), Long cross coinage (1247-1272), Class IIIc (1248-1250) with short beard and pellet-footed 'R'. The obverse inscription begins at 12 o'clock, which indicates that the class belongs to I-III, and on the reverse the inscription reads [A]SO/NG/, which suggests that the moneyer was Lucas (Class IIb-IIIc) and the mint Gloucester. The full inscription would therefore have read LVC/ASO/NG/LOV.

A silver cut half of a voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216 - 1272), Long cross coinage (1247-1272). The half with the moneyer's name is missing, but the obverse inscription begins at 12 o'clock, which indicates that the class belongs to I - III, without the sceptre, and on the reverse the inscription reads /NG/LOV, which suggests the Gloucester mint. The moneyers in Gloucester were ION, LUC/AS, RIC/ARD and ROG/ER, all of whom only minted Classes IIb - IIIc.
