Silver long cross penny of Henry VI, First Reign (1422-1461). The coin is cracked and very worn, and most of the inscriptions are illegible, but the end of [hENR]ICVS can be made out in the obverse legend and CIVITAS [DVNO] LMI can be seen in the reverse legend, so it might be Durham mint. The initial mark appears to be a cross fleury with rounded ends but it is very worn and other marks are not visible to confirm this association. The ornaments and the central fleur in the crown are joined up to form a row of four circles.

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.

A fragment of a silver long cross penny, half of it missing and clipped round the edge. Very little is visible on the obverse, but the reverse is from the York mint, with a plain quatrefoil in the centre of the cross (without central cross or pellet). None of the letters are legible. This form of reverse belongs to coins minted at York, either in the reign of Henry IV (light coinage 1412-1413) or Henry VI (First reign, 1427-1430) according to Wren (1995, pp.105 & 113).
