ID Help - Long Cross Penny

Maybe one of the many imitation "sterling" issues on the continent at this time. We have this thread with a few examples: http://goccf.com/t/325557&SearchTer...ion,Sterling I think there is an online catalog of these types available somewhere.

Obverse I am seeing lettering like this starting at 12:00: + ?DWEMeROL ONR?A (or possibly last 3 letters are REX)

Reverse starting at 9:00 I see IOh ?D eIG RAC. If IOh is correct, this means IOHANNES (John), and we can see DEI GRAC for Dei Gratia. SO I am guessing we can look for a place with a sovereign named John, and that the lettering obverse must have the place name.

Dukes John I (1290-94) and John II (1294-1312) of Brabant issued coins with this design, but the legends do not match. FOr John I, the obverse legend is either
+ I DVX BRABANTIE, + I BRABANTIE DVX, I DVX LIMBVRGIE or I LIMBVRGIE DVX.

For John II, the obverse legend is MONETA BRVXELLEN'

Never would have guessed this was Edward. Very nice find.

Numismatics continues to inform my understanding of European history.
John became King of Bohemia in 1310 by marrying Elizabeth of Bohemia, the sister of King Wenceslaw III who had died without heir.
BUT WAIT! THERE's MORE!
Wenceslaw III had also reigned briefly as King of Poland, so John also claimed that throne, despite the fact that it was really occupied by Wladyslaw (Piast) the Short, one of whose coins was recently shown in this thread: http://goccf.com/t/386242

John was killed in the Battle of Crecy (1346), one of the
early major battles of the Hundred Years War, along with other nobles like Duke Raoul of Lorraine, and COunt Louis I of Flanders, both of whose coins we have seen here.
