MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 10/13/2023 09:23 am Hi all. Picked a few hammered coins up recently and have them all in coin flips and put away apart from this one. Someone suggested Henry VI and someone else suggested Richard III. I can't see much difference, thought maybe someone here could educate me. 15mm and 0.70 grams. Thank you.

Looking at Wren's Long Cross guide: - First: Center of rx. I think the rosette has 5 petals, so this would be a quatrefoil (with pellet): York issues, Ed IV, Rich III - Second: Nothing apparent next to the neck, unless that's a key/saltire on the right, and the left is obscured... - Third: Pellets next to crown: Henry VI (leaf-pellet issue; matches York if saltires next to neck) - Fourth: It looks like there's something on the breast, but I can't figure out what... looks kind of like an inverted leaf or pinecone. Also, I don't know if what you have is a penny or halfpenny... I don't have any references for the latter outside of Spink. Hopefully there's an English penny expert around here.

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 10/14/2023 05:01 am Henry VI penny from York, Archbishop Booth, leaf-pellet issue (S 1924). Quatrefoil (4 petals) with pellet in centre; leaf on breast; pellet each side of crown. No saltires. Saltires next to neck are on the cross-pellet issue with a cross also in the quatrefoil instead of a pellet (S 1940). Edited by JohnConduitt 10/14/2023 05:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
