JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 6:25 pm What is the size and weight? Not much help, but it isn't a Henry VIII farthing, as his farthings had a portcullis on the front, not a portrait. It might be his halfpenny, though.

Hairy881 New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 6:58 pm First coinage / transitional had the portrait until 1526 . The weight is 0.29 . Size 11mm with diameter of inner beading 8mm which is henry vii size beading ? Leaning 80% to vii Report this Post to the Staff
Hairy881 New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 7:16 pm Could b clipped half penny , too heavy for farthing. Still only 80% lean to vii tho !! Report this Post to the Staff
JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 7:34 pm Yes I'd go with a clipped/chipped halfpenny. If it was Henry VIII, the obverse legend would be HDG ROSA SIE SPIA, with the A of ROSA at the bottom, which matches what looks to be an A at the bottom of the obverse on your coin. Henry VII had HENRIC DI GRA REX, which doesn't fit that. Possibly London mint with nothing in the fields. Edited by JohnConduitt 08/24/2021 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
