The L in CIVI TAS LON DON is blundered so it looks like a D, it is not a D but an L.

So this is a neat error where it appears to read CIVI TAS DON DON, I have an Edward I penny exactly the same.

On closer inspection it looks like it might not be a letter at all, looks like someone had too much ale...

I'd tend to agree! The obverse doesn't really fit the usual neatness. Look at the initial cross - someone was definitely either cross-eyed or drunk!
