Scottishmoney Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 This would appear to be Lancastrian or very early Tudor with the crown placed above the shield - that may be your best shot at identification is finding a type with the crown above the shield like that. This would appear to be Henry II - John, I think I see the lettres R I C on the obverse of the piece - and it is a short cross coin meaning it was struck prior to Henry III. Coins were struck in the name of Henry even through the reigns of Richard I and King John. This one is definitely Edward I based on the style of the hair on the obverse. I wish there was a way to digitally "bend" the coin so I could see the complete reverse legend - in the upper right quadrant I can make out what looks like C A V. This one is a challenge - most of the obverse is gone. The one identifying marker is what appears to be a lettre B - which would be the end of the legend EDW R ANGL DNS HYB - I copied and pasted the image into my photo editor and rotated it about 270 degrees and can distinguish the first characters of Edwards name. Unfortunately the facial markers are indistinquishable on this coin - then you just have to go with most likely - that it is Edward I. It is minted in CIVITAS CANTOR though.

YeOldeCollector Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Edward IV Halfpenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 This would appear to be Henry II - John, I think I see the lettres R I C on the obverse of the piece - and it is a short cross coin meaning it was struck prior to Henry III. Coins were struck in the name of Henry even through the reigns of Richard I and King John. This could be any of Henry II, Richard, John or Henry III as all minted shortcross pennies in the name of Henry. Portrait looks more like a John. Can't read mint from photograph.
