| Beschrijving keerzijde | A short voided cross extends to the inner border, dividing the reverse into four quarters, each containing a group of four pellets arranged in a lozenge pattern. A plain inner circle frames the central cross design, and the moneyer and mint legend is inscribed in uncial Latin script within the outer annulus. The overall composition is typical of the Short Cross coinage type issued throughout the reigns of several Plantagenet monarchs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Class 6c of the Short Cross penny represents one of the later phases of a coinage type that ran almost uninterrupted from 1180 under Henry II through to 1247, when the Long Cross reform finally replaced it. The driving force behind that reform was straightforward: clipping was rampant, and the Short Cross design gave no indication when a coin had been illegally reduced at the edges. Henry III's treasury was losing silver continuously to this practice throughout his minority and into his personal reign.
The "orn." designation refers to ornamental stops between words in the legend — a die-identification detail that helps assign pieces to specific moneyers and mints within the class sequence.
