I mean it could be a half penny rather than a penny (looks clipped) but it's hard to say from here. There are some really talented identifiers of these things ( I'm not one lol) but I think the coin is stylistic of the 1400's. I have the spink coins of England to guide me lol Thanks for Sharing that one ? Spot on with your identification for Andy's Hammered Silver it is a Henry VI annulet issue halfpenny of London Mint. Henry VI, 1st reign 1422 - 1430. On the reverse Long cross pattée with three pellets in each angle, annulet in two angles (Dimples). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking first Hammy! I sure do miss finding those beauties in the soil. It's an unbelievable feeling to reach down and lift a medieval coin from the earth and see a king/Queen looking back at you ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
