Edward Penny identification help needed

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Hopefully someone out there is able to help identify this coin I have in my collection.

It has a clear portrait which is why I bought it but none of the inscriptions are complete due to wear / clipping making it hard to pin it's type down.

Most important is knowing who's reign this belows to but if anyone can spot the mint that would be nice too. I can make out the 'TAS' of 'CIVITAS' but not so much the following mint lettering.

The images had to be uploaded externally due to file size limit on this forum - see links below. There have been auto rotated for some reason rather annoyingly.

Thanks for anyone's help!

I think it's a forth coinage "florin" penny of Edward III from the shape of the crown with open work above the band and annulet  punctuation marks, minted in London.

Thanks so much!! Yes I see now how it definitely resembles pennies from that period.

One question though, just looked in my Spink book & it lists 'Third or Florin Coinage, 1344-51' & 'Fourth Coinage, 1351-77', in your response you put Fourth & Florin coinage together, was this your way of saying you couldn't tell which period it fitted into or did you conflate the two coinages? Thanks again!

My mistake, florin is the third coinage your penny is almost certainly fourth coinage, treaty period inscription reads EDWARD ANGL R DNS HYB with, I think, a pellet before Edward which makes it a Spink 1625 or North 1265.
