Richard II coins from York seem to have the central quatrefoil, while his coins from London do not. I liked this coin because of the condition of the surfaces which are quite bright and not affected by being buried in problematic soil for a few centuries.. +RICARDVS REX AnGLE +CIVI TAS EBO RACI 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 Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 09/02/2025 8:20 pm That is a great acquisition @bacc. Do you think that someone shaved the edge a bit to harvest some silver? I see that the arm of the long cross at nine o'clock is off the flan. Or do you think that the flan was undersized compared to the die?

I think that accounts for it, but good thinking about the clipping which seems to have been an issue from the time. Here's a short snippet from Coincraft's catalogue of English and UK coins that is worth a read for a bit of context.
