<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 3460876, member: 87271&quot;]Based on the shape of the crown and the abbreviation of the king’s name, it is definitely Edward I. The Royal York mint did not mint all classes/groups; only 2,3 &amp; one issue of group 9. Looking at the shape of the bust, the crown and most importantly the shapes of the letter N (pothook) and H (no notched tail), it become clear that we are dealing with a coin from 9B2. I even believe the stereotypical star-on-breast might be present, although the area is quite worn.This type dates from roughly 1299-1301 (second recoinage), thus placing it firmly within the reign of Edward I. The placing of EBOR in one quadrant is indeed not commonly seen, but I personally think this is just the die-engraver making a choice. These were made with punches, so he had to make sure to space everything correctly. Maybe he experimented with putting the R in this quadrant to prevent the tightly packed RACI we usually see in the last quadrant? Anyhow, it is not significant for its classification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
