It appears to be a continental sterling that is trying to be an Edward I but I can't narrow it down any further. The reverse seems to be CIVITAS ?ONDON with a blundered legend. weight is 0.47 - so likely a half penny diameter is 13mm many thanks My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Edited by Bacchus2 06/02/2020 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2921 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 10:45 am Thanks for that - yes the obverse legend is a close match. Not sure what that diamond at 8 o'clock is supposed to be - but everything else fits - and the portrait is similar too.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 8015 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 4:31 pm I think that L in London is just a Gothic L with the right vertical stroke exaggerated enough that it almost resembles a U. Was pretty common around that time (for example, also on the silver half groats of Wladyslaw of Poland, 1386-1434). Report this Post to the Staff
