moneydog Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 A person found it with a metal detector and was wanting it ID so does anyone know what it is. Unknown Coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Surely British medieval (unless it's a copy): you can read CIVITAS on the reverse --followed by the city where it was minted, but I'm not familiar enough with these coins to read the name of the city.

geordie582 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I doubt that this is a genuine Edward Hammered penny. Possibly a 'Sterling' continental copy circulated in europe at the time. My reason? The Mint name just doesn't fit any English mint. Canterbury would be CANTOR and Chester CESTRIE. You also have NOVO CASTRI and CORCACIE (Newcastle & Cork ) As you can see the name on your coin is CIVI TAS CET N?? Come on Hammered nuts.! Lets have your input.
