Beschrijving keerzijde A voided long cross moline extends to the full coin edge, dividing the reverse into four quarters, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular formation — the distinctive pellet arrangement of Edward III's hammered pennies. The mint name is inscribed in uncial Latin lettering in the four quadrants of the legend field, reading around the cross in standard medieval fashion between the inner beaded circle and the coin edge.

Aanvullende informatie

Edward III's first coinage continued the penny standard inherited from Edward II almost without interruption, but the political climate surrounding it was anything but stable. The reign opened with Edward's mother Isabella and her lover Mortimer effectively ruling England — Edward himself was fourteen at his accession and would not seize real power until Mortimer's arrest at Nottingham Castle in 1330.

Sp#1526 / North#1095 places this issue precisely within the pre-florin period, before Edward's monetary ambitions shifted toward gold coinage in 1344.
