Henry III Voided Long Cross penny - which class please?

Recommended Posts

I had this brought to me in the market today. I think I have it right as Henry III voided Long Cross of Class 5 and by Ion of Canterbury, but I am not sure which sub-class. Can someone please help me?

I think this is a class 5b2 coin. Single banded, unjewelled crown with end pellets, R in obverse legend with a detached wedge, and the eyes are circular rather than oval.

Thanks very much for that @JLS - that suits me fine. Apart from the damage to part of the portrait, quite a decent coin I thought.

Yes - it’s a nice piece. I hadn’t seen Ion as moneyer for this issue before - more commonly you get Nicole.
