Edward I?

[Guest Guest]

This coin appears to be of Edward !st with Crown type 5 and Cross 6. However it has a legend:-

Obverse; EDW--E--H--SCOT--- Reverse; CANVNCENSIS Silver, 19mm Long cross Penny.

Can anyone help with identification

This one has got me... erm i've never come across anything like this. Could you post a picture at all?

[Sylvester 15]

Unless it's one of those modern replicas they sell that have different made up legends?

Is it of the 1st coinage style pre-1279 long cross (as Henry III), or is it of the recoinage type?

SCOT---

hmm...scotland?

I dunno about Scottish coins, i had thought it but Edward wasn't exactly the king of Scotland.

John Balliol was. And of course later Robert the Bruce was but that might have been in Edward II's reign. I think he became king in 1306 which means it was within the last year or two of Edward I's reign.

Of course i'm sure Edward I claimed to be king of Scotland but i didn't think they'd made any coins

Further to the discussion. I've managed to get the picture to attach. Any help?
