A detecting find from the end of last year, and a real shot in the dark. I reckon it could be Henry V - Spink 1882 - North 1466, definite Mullet on breast, looks like 4 points in the photos but definitely 5 under the loupe. However what meagre bit of legend exists on the Reverse I cant match up with York 🤷‍♂️

P.S. apologies for the photo quality 😂 I love his coffee bean/hayfever eyes

It is S1882, but Henry VI, not Henry V. Archbishop Kemp at York.

The legend does match EBORACI, in fact you have the full extent of the reading with the letter bases visible. What threw you is the mascle after EBO. It being a pinecone-mascle penny, you get the symbols variously distributed in the legend.
