This coin is an example of a European copy of an English style penny of
Henry III but with a Dublin signature
This coin uses a typical English type obverse of good style of Henry III and an Irish reverse. The moneyer RICARD is a valid Dublin moneyer's name so it is probable that the dies were copied from two original coins but that they were inadvertently muled . For many years these coins and similar coins of Edward I were considered to be official productions. This coin appears to be of poorer quality silver than the official issue. The coin is in Extremely Fine (EF) condition with some original lustre but has quite heavy toning which is tending towards corrosion in some areas. As many of these coins are hoard finds they are often found in quite good grades. Hit your back button to return to the page you came from or select : |
