I just won this Edward I (Longshanks) Penny and now I must wait. That's always the hardest part LOL.

Take care

Bone,King Richard I's nickname was Coer de Lion (or Lionheat).It was King Edward I who had the nicknames of Longshanks & Hammer of the Scots.King Richard I's coins all have King Henry's name,& are very scarce,
whereas,King Edward I's 1d.'s are actually the commonest hammered coins in the British Isles series.London is the common mint,but other mints are a bit scarcer.

I ordered mine from England and it took 6 weeks.Hope yours is faster.That's a NICE coin Bone!

 

Mikjo0,which mint is this coin? Is it London? I have got ones struck at Durham,Canterbury,& Newcastle-on-Tyne as well.

My Bad. Lets make that Edward I LOL

 

Can you please do a close-up scan of the coin's reverse,Bone? I may be able to identify the mintname for you.

Aidan.

 

Sorry, that's as good as I can get it. My computer is only showing it as 24kb in size

Bone

 

Aidan,sorry,it's Canterbury.I posted it with the obverse pic above.
Bone's is also Canterbury CIVITAS CANTOR

 

Aidan,Not ALL of them.The obv. reads RICARDVS and the rev.is AQVITAINE
I think that British coins have Henry but French issues have Richard? I might be wrong.
