rick2020 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi All I recently bought this coin and although I can make out the moneyer Adam On Lund on the one side, I am a bit stumped on the other......is that a cross or an optical illusion? Is it Henry? Richard? Anglo Saxon? Viking? Or something else..... So my question is..... " What do I have"? I Would appreciate any input...... Regards Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I have rotated your image and can make out HENRICVS REX and you also can make out the crown, curls, hand and sceptre it looks like it was a Henry obverse overstruck with the reverse or vise versa. Could also have been issued in John's reign. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I just realized something... I was raised in Henrico County, Virginia. I knew it was named after the 1611 settlement Henricus. Your post made me realize where the name probably came from. According to Wikipedia, it was named after Prince Henry, the eldest son of James I. Cool!

rick2020 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks for your posts. Constantius, now that you rotated the coin i can also make out those details. Good job :-) Further investigation has yielded the possibility of this coin being a brockage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
