Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 12:50 pm The first coin I've bought for ages - and of a ruler I have never had a coin of before. I think (?) it a type 5(g?) but I'm not really certain of this at all - corrections welcome.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 8:59 pm A fine penny! But Henry ruled so very long, with so many pennies minted in his name. The first moneyers were long in their graves when the last hammers fell. Makes for quite a Byzantine array of varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 01:58 am Thanks. This era of English rulers is one I've really neglected so hopefully in 2015 I'll be able to pick up another couple of examples.

Yes, there is a single band to the crown but that might be wear - rest seems to match Vf better. Report this Post to the Staff

What exactly are the "rest" of the characteristics? The band on the crown sure does look like a single one.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 03:05 am Left and right 'C's at the face, chin, cross on crown. The top of the sceptre is halfway between the two sub-types. In the end show it to a dealer who has a lot of experience with the series. Report this Post to the Staff
