[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2977932, member: 8959"]I first posted this coin here back in 2008. As we now have many new members who are quite knowledgeable with early British coinage, I would like to post it again to gather additional opinions/information if possible. The coin is apparently double struck on the obverse and this made reading the legends a bit difficult. It was however possible to decipher the legends as reading: " EFPRD ON CENTEE " , or, "Edward in Canterbury". It appears therefore it was minted by a moneyer named Edward (one of the king's' many moneyers) at the mint at Canterbury. As it seems, a fairly uncommon (not rare) combination of Moneyer and Mint. It is double struck on the obverse, which makes the king look a bit funny. These pictures are better (I hope) than the ones I posted in 2008. I would be grateful for any additional opinions, information or confirmation of this coins ID. Thanks! [ATTACH=full]732107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]732108[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
