MEDIEVAL COIN

1399

Silver penny, very worn but probably of Henry IV, Henry V or Henry VI, York mint, with unusual mintmarks. These include an intrusive central pellet in two of the four quadrants of the reverse (not an annulet), a quatrefoil (or four loops) at centre of the long cross, and trefoils of pellets beside the neck of the obverse portrait. Clipped. The additional pellet in two of the quadrants makes it likely that this is a Henry VI coin of period 1445-1460.
