<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2404460, member: 74712&quot;]Here is my first purchase of 2016 (sadly...).&nbsp; This short cross penny was issued under King John, but bearing the name of his father, Henry II (as would the coins of his elder brother, Richard).&nbsp; I&#039;ve been bidding on some of John&#039;s coins issued in Ireland which actually contain his name, but unfortunately the cost kept going higher than I wanted to pay...&nbsp; Oh well, I&#039;ll grab one at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495992[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>England</p><p>John, r. 1199-1216 (1205-1216)</p><p>London Mint, AR Short Cross Penny, 19mm x 1.54 grams</p><p>Obv.: hEnricus R_ _ (ex)</p><p>Rev.: WALTER .
