joewobblie Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 8:04 pm I have tried searching Numista but I just can't figure this one out. Looks like Henry III but I don't see a match. On the obverse he is holding a scepter and the cross on the reverse goes rim-to-rim (long cross). I have a hard time figuring out what the letters are - on the reverse starting at 1:00 my best guess is: OHL VND WIL LEM I think it is silver (nonmagnetic for sure) weighs 1.47 grams (.051 ounces) and measures between 18 and 19 mm. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 8:38 pm Maybe "HENRICUS REX III" and "WILLEM ON LVND" (William at London) Long Cross silver penny? (full disclosure, I know nothing about medievals) http://www.psdetecting.com/Inscript...enryIII.html Edited by coinsearcher83 07/16/2023 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
samoth Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 6:01 pm coinsearcher83 is correct. It's a common mint & monier. When it comes to medievals, learning to read the letters opens up an entire world. For a short, cheap, & informative reference, I recommend Walker's "Reading Medieval European Coins." It's belongs in everyone's library! Report this Post to the Staff
