| Reverse description | A bold long cross pattée extends to the coin's toothed outer border, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a trefoil of pellets arranged in the angles of the cross. The mint name is inscribed in uncial Latin characters in the four quadrants around the cross, reading CIVI / TAS / LON / DON. An outer toothed border encircles the entire design, consistent with the hammered production technique of the period. |

| Additional information |
Class 3d falls within the major recoinage Edward I initiated in 1279, an overhaul designed to address the catastrophic state of English silver currency — clipped, debased, and flooded with foreign imitations. The 3d subclass is distinguished primarily by its face bifoliate crown, a detail that matters considerably for attribution and sits at the boundary of a brief transitional window in production.
Minting occurred across multiple provincial exchanges beyond London, including Durham and Canterbury, each producing coins of variable die quality.
