Richard II Penny?

Recommended Posts

I am struggling a little with this penny, it looks a bit like Richard II's type, but what about the crosses at the bottom on the reverse side?

Not that familiar with pennies, but legend reads EDWARDVS so should be one of the Edwards, although EDWARDVS looks mispelt EDWARDWS. I would guess at Edward III, mint is York (EBORACI) and there is a quatrefoil on the reverse, as for the saltire stops on the reverse, hopefully someone will come along shortly and give you a more accurate idea!! :)

Thanks for replying :)

Yes, it does look like EDWARDWS or EDWARDVIS..

I don't think it will be S.1531? as can't clearly make out the three extra pellets in the 'TAS' quarter..
