Annotated image of Medieval silver coin : Voided long-cross penny of Henry III, class III. |

| Description |
English: A Medieval silver voided long-cross penny (AD 1247-1279) of Henry III, AD 1216-1272.
The obverse is worn but shows a forward facing crowned bust without sceptre, and without neck. The obverse legend reads h[ENR]ICVS REX.III and the initial mark is unclear. The 'S' of henricvs seems to be an egg-waisted S as all that can be seen between the 'V' and 'R' is a pellet at the location of the mid-point of the S. A single pellet can be seen between the 'X' of rex and I of III, this may however be one pellet of a colon stop. Reverse legend reads: [...]?/ION/ON(ligated) (C or E). Reverse shows a voided long cross with three pellets per quarter. The mint could be Canterbury, Carlisle, Exeter, London (ELVN), Norwich (ENORWIC) or York. This is a class III coin. It has not been further defined but might perhaps be a transitional coin between class IIIb and IIIc. Wren, C. comments that the letters ENR in henricvs are useful for identifying transition coins between these sub classes if these three letters are ligated. Unfortuneately it is these three letters that are illegible on this flan. Die axis is probably 12 o'clock. |
