| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing crowned bust of King Richard III in the characteristic medieval hammered penny style, with long flowing hair falling to either side of the neck. The letter T appears to the left of the neck and a key symbol to the right, the key being the mint mark of Archbishop Rotherham of York. The royal effigy is rendered in a flat, stylised manner typical of late fifteenth-century English hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle surrounds the bust, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Richard III's penny coinage was struck under the oversight of Thomas Rotherham, Archbishop of York, whose mint mark — the key — appears on issues from the York ecclesiastical mint. Rotherham had a complicated relationship with the Yorkist crown: he had briefly surrendered the Great Seal to Elizabeth Woodville during the political crisis of 1483, an act of disloyalty that earned him a short spell in the Tower. That he continued to operate the York mint under Richard's authority shortly after speaks to the pragmatic accommodations of the period.
The reign lasted just over two years, ending at Bosworth Field in August 1485. Surviving examples from this mint are notably scarce against London issues.
