This "mullet and trefoil" pattern is mostly found on Henry V pennies (sometimes Henry IV?), and usually indicates the York mint (sometimes London?). Again, a reverse pic might help. Here's a Henry V Penny, York, class F: http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/S.1788.001.html Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/06/2012 5:02 pm Yep, that's York, all right! The cross is "pierced," with that open quatrefoil shape in the center. The bottom two quadrants clearly read EBO RACI (Latin for York). Can make out the first couple letters of CIVI TAS ("City of...") in the upper quadrants. Compare to the example I linked to previously, and Prince Hal seems to be the monarch! Edited by philadelphian 11/06/2012 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/06/2012 5:49 pm Experts always have some some uncertainty in distinguishing the coinage of the first two Lancastrian kings: http://www.amrcoins.com/information...-ivv-divide/ By "Prince Hal," though, I was referring to Shakespeare's term of endearment for the future Henry V. I leave value to better experts on that matter. Personally, I think it's priceless; it's a 600 year old work of art, that you can hold in your hand! My "signature" at the bottom of my posts will tell you what has value to me... Report this Post to the Staff
