Reverse: CIVITAS LONDON, Cross with three pellets in each quadrant.

Diameter: 19 mm. Weight: 1.3 g. [London, 1344-1351].

A very sharply struck penny of Edward III, struck during the Hundred Years’ War. Beautifully toned with an idealised facing portrait of the monarch, highly evocative of the period. A wonderful little piece of medieval English history.
