<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy-bones, post: 882532, member: 2794&quot;]There are many identifying marks, portrait styles, and letter forms that can be used to distinguish between Henry II, Richard, John, and Henry III&#039;s short cross coins, all which bear the HENRICVS name.&nbsp; The details are plenty for specific class attribution, but a few general characteristics can be...the number of pearls in the crown, the number and form of the the hair curls to the right and left, and the form of the beard. (But even these general characteristics cannot be solely relied upon in all instances). Some short cross issues can be narrowed or attributed solely based on the moneyer or the form of a single letter or i.m. It&#039;s kind of hard to narrow down a standard attributon of classes on a forum message board, that&#039;s why such references as MASS and North exist. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, I do want to add that Richard&#039;s name can also be found on his Issoudun (Berry) issue in addition to the Aquitaine and Piotou issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
