English silver long cross penny Edward 1 1272-1307---mint very difficult to see might just be Bristol------it is a city civitas
Only a minor correction here, your attribution to the monarch is right on spot ol'd chap, but I do believe I see "CAN TOR" ie Canterbury. Gees, the old penny made quite the journey - I'd love to know the story about how it ended up in Estonia - perhaps it made it's way through the Hanseatic League traders. Wasn't Narva a Hansa city?
"The first mention of the port in the mouth of the River Pärnu appeared in written records 1242 under the Latinate name Perona. Bishop Henricus established a cathedral, consecrated 1251, on the right bank of the river and the Livonian Order, a branch of the German Order, built its fortress on the left. The town of Pernau (Pernow) developed in front of the fortress. In 1318 the town received a charter similar to that of Riga. Since Pärnu laid on profitable trade routes, the town prospered and played an important part in the Hanseatic trade of Old Livonia."
*nice* => I like it ... ummm curious => are those a couple of mammals up against the shield? (what animals are they?) ... I love animal-coins ...
=> ahahaha => you're correct!! (sorry about that ... I thought your Grand-dad's hair was either two rabbits holding a shield, or a beer stein!!) ... my bad Cheers, brother
any advance on Bristol Canterbury London---I back away from my Bristol ,I am inclined to join Scottish money the last letter looks like R but I could be wrong (it has been known )
My vote would go to London mint. The bottom of the last N of London can very much resemble an R on these. Compare this one:
