A silver cut half of a short cross penny of John (1199-1216). The coin belongs to Class 6a1, dating from 1210-1213, identified by the shape of the letter X in REX, which Wren (1992, p.55) describes as being formed from two thin straight strokes with the limbs arranged as a flattish saltire and not at right angles to each other. The coin is cut vertically through the obverse, showing the king's head with two equal sized curls on the left side. The inscription remaining on the reverse reads [WA]LTER.O[NLV], so the moneyer is Walter. The London mint is assumed because Walter's name does …

Silver cut half of a short cross penny of John (1199-1216), Class Vb1 (c.1205), London mint. The coin has been cut horizontally across the portrait face on the obverse, and the visible part of the inscription reads [hENRIC]VS R/E[X]. The S has a pellet in centre, which suggests that the coin is of Class 5b1 (Mass 2001, 35. fig 2). Very little of the face is visible, but a particular feature is the hand holding the sceptre is shown almost directly under the centre of the collar, whereas in most of these coins the hand is aligned with the left of the collar. Mass illustrates an example …

Silver cut half of a short cross penny of John (1199-1216) or Henry III (1216-1272), dating from Class 5c (1207-1210) to Class 7a (1217-1222). The penny has been cut slightly off-centre, with the result that the only letters visible are L.ON. on the reverse. The most likely moneyer is therefore Abel who minted Class 5c-7a coins in London from c.1207-1222.

Silver cut half of a short cross penny of King John (1199-1216), Class Vb2 (1205-1207), with one corner broken off. The bust is only partially visible, but the condition of the coin is good, and the two ringlets with pellets in the centre at the side of the head, the fine even strokes representing the beard and the division by the hand holding the sceptre of the word REX between the R and EX on the obverse indicate the coin belongs to Class Vb, and because the remaining eye is not broken it has to be Class Vb2, which dates it from 1205 to 1207. The part of the inscription on the rever…
