    This British halved penny has been in my collection for nearly a year. I think it's a Henry III, but am unsure. Any help is appreciated:

    It's a long cross, so yes

    Thanks @John Conduitt.
    Could you help me with finding a similar (or same) coin? I have trouble reading the legends:

    Rev: OIC AIT (?)

    The obverse will be HENRICUS REX. The reverse is the question...
