[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 3640792, member: 100731"]Coin nr. 6. A halved penny. I like this coin a lot: it looks really nice in hand, with a good patina and clear lettering. The coin is from an interesting period, nearing the end of John II. I'm not really sure about the reverse, as after "LKЄ • OH" there seems to be a "C" (though it may be an "L"?). [ATTACH=full]977295[/ATTACH] Ruler: John II (1166-1216) Denomination: Halved penny, minted: Fulco, moneyer. Struck 1205-1207, in the name of Henry II Obs: crowned facing bust holding scepter. Legend: visible "ЄHRICVS", full legend reads: (star) ҺЄHRICVS RЄX ; rev: Voided short cross with pellet at center and four pellets in each quarte. Legend, visible: "LKЄ • OH", whole legend reads: + FVLKЄ • OH • LVND Weight: 0.75g; Ø:1.8 S.1351; North 970; SCBI 56 (Mass) Coin nr 7. Another halved penny. This one is difficult, as the name of the ruler is on the other halve. The observe legend reads "CVS REX :" (HENRICVS REX?); the reverse something like "OIO HIT"; voided long cross with three pellets per field. [ATTACH=full]977302[/ATTACH] Weight 0.67, diameter 1.8cm. Coin nr 8. A very small, fragile and lightweight silver coin. Zoomed in at the maximum of my macro lense. [ATTACH=full]977328[/ATTACH] Weight 0.29 g; diameter 1.2 cm[/QUOTE]
