| Aversbeschreibung | Half-flan hammered silver halfpenny displaying the right half of a facing crowned effigy of King Henry III, rendered in the schematic style characteristic of medieval English coinage. The king holds a sceptre in his right hand, visible at centre field. The crown is depicted with stylised pellets and fleurs, and the facial features are rendered in a bold, linear uncial style. A partial legend in Latin uncial letters runs along the curved edge, reading HENRICVS REX III. The coin is a cut halfpenny, produced by halving a penny along the long cross on the reverse. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Henry III's Long Cross coinage was introduced in 1247 specifically to combat the widespread practice of coin clipping — by extending the cross to the coin's edge, any reduction in diameter became immediately visible. The halfpenny with sceptre is among the rarest denominations of the type; for most of Henry's reign, small change was made by physically cutting pennies into halves and quarters, meaning purpose-struck halfpennies saw limited production and heavy attrition in circulation.
Fewer than a handful of mints produced this variant, and surviving examples almost invariably show significant wear consistent with extended use before the round halfpenny became standard practice under Edward I in 1279.
