Show Off Your Silver Pennies!

Did someone say, "pennies"?

I've got a few. I've just filled the gallery with some of my better ones:

#1: Richard I (1189-1199). No coins which actually bear Richard's name were struck for England (though a few were struck for English territories in France). The legend on the coin is "HENRICVS REX", but it's Short Cross Class 4a*, Seaby 1348B. Reverse legend: +ROBERD:ON:CAN (Moneyer Roberd of Canterbury mint). Paid AU$295 for it in 2006 from a local dealer.



#2: Henry III, short cross (issued 1216-1247), Class 7b, Seaby 1356B, obverse the same as previous, reverse +SAMVELONCANT (Moneyer Samuel of Canterbury mint). Paid AU$16.50 for it form a local coin auction back in 1998.



#3: Henry III, long cross (issued 1247-1272), Class Vb, Seaby 1368, obverse HEIRIQVSREX III (the "N" in Henry seems to be partly missing, and the "C" is "Q" shaped), reverse GIL BER TON CAN (Moneyer Gilbert of Canterbury mint). Better condition example, paid AU$60 for it in the same auction as #2.



#4: Henry III, long cross (issued 1247-1272), Class IIIa, Seaby 1362, obverse +HENRICUSREXIII, reverse ROG ERO NNE WEC (Moneyer Roger of Newcastle mint). Paid AU$60 for it in 2006 from a local coin show.



Whew. That's enough for now.
