Oops, I think you have encountered the problem of uploading new pictures with the same filename; all prior pictures change. The pic that was up here a moment ago, by the portrait, seemed to suggest no earlier than Edward I, and no later than Richard III, but could use a better pic of any remaining lettering, and a reverse pic

 to the community The image is half Roman coin, there isn't enough left to tell how it might be of. Post a picture of the other side, it might give us a clue. |

Still would like to see the reverse (back side of coin), and better picture of any lettering, but the full-looking crown with the three fleur-de-lys, and the full bust with collar still make me think of Edward I or later. The way the collar is out of line with the king's chin on this coin, we should be able to find another identical example out there.

I believe the mark to the right of the king's neck is the V mintmark of the ecclesiastical mint of Bishop Dudley in Durham, making this King Edward IV. There are a number of die varieties, but I think this 2nd reign (1471-83) example comes pretty close: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...2049023A.jpg |
