EWARDUS REX halfpenny

[mick1271]

I have an Edward halfpenny ,London mint with the obverse legend EWARDUS REX .I can't find any info on it ,and I was wondering if this was a debased continental copy .I doubt I will be able to put any pics up ,but I might try and scan it if needed .Didnt cost much ,and its not a great grade , but I do like to be able to put a label to these things .

Is that the correct spelling as there's a D in EDWARD

yes , no D  .Thats why i'm thinking a continental copy.

quite crude lettering as well .will try and add pics,if I can get clear enough ones .its not a great condition as it is ,but it is clear EW with no D .

Don't worry  It is a scarcer type of Edward III halpenny class XVIb. 

In his book Lord Stewartby records two variants for the legends : Ewardus and Edwadus

thank you , wouldn't have bothered me if it was a continental copy , but that's even better .I know its not the greatest of conditions , but for £2.84 ,I can't complain

They are not normally what I collect,but I do like to trawl ebay picking up cheap unidentified detector finds to try and work out what they are .This one though ,had me stumped .will need to pick up a copy of a decent edward hammered book .

I thoroughly recommend Christopher Wren's books: "The Short Cross Coinage 1180-1247" and "The Voided Long Cross Coinage 1247-1279" both are available for no more than £12 brand new. Of course, no good for anything after Edward I but invaluable for the early stuff.
