MEDIEVAL COIN

Unknown artist

Here we have a medieval hammered silver penny, probably of Edward I (1272-1307). The coin is worn making positive identification a little difficult. The obverse legend is badly rubbed along with the top and lower half of the portrait.What remains of the design, suggests that the coin is from the ‘New Coinage’ of 1279 and type 4e. There is a possible pellet in the reverse legend, for the London mint, supporting the concept of it being a type 4e.
