Recently I picked up two silver pennies from around 1300: one Henry III and the other his successor Edward I. I think the Henry III is pretty nice and doesn't look too worn, damaged or clipped. Any help deciphering the monier and city is welcome. I just can't seem to make heads or tails out of these 3-letter snippets. Paid about $47. This Edward I is much more problematic. Fairly heavily clipped and worn. Also cracked nearly half through! When I purchased it, the crack was not disclosed in the description and the online photos only looked like a crease or bend. Still trying to decided whether or not to return it. Again, help with ID is welcome. Paid $30. Any and all comments are welcome! Rob
The Henry reads .....on Lvnd so it is London but I do not get the moneyer. The Edward reads CIVITAS LONDON so it is also London city but has no moneyer.
Very cool, Teddy (sweet score) => $30, really? (wow, money well spent my friend) hmmmrmph ... man, I need more English-med-coins!!
I'm thinking maybe it is "Henri on Lund". This is what I think I see (starting at 9 o'clock below the arm of the cross with the O in on): O | NLV | ND? | HEN | RI Thanks for that link! It helps to know the possibilities! Rob
