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).

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 …
