Edward I II III Hammered Penny Identification

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired this Penny of King Edward though have not been able to work out which class it represents or even which Edward for that matter. I know it was minted in Bristol but that is the extent of my knowledge. I was wondering if anyone could help me in identifying this coin?

It is surely a penny struck during the reign of Edward I ; with this legend can be a class 2b or 3b-d, 3f-g. Later I can give you more details ;)

Thank you both for your help. After comparing it to other examples I thought it was 3d or 3g but I am leaning towards 3g due to the side fleurs on the crown. Would anyone be able to confirm this?

I concur. The fleurs are too late for 3d.
