Henry III

[Gaz T]

Henry III long cross without sceptre

I have absolutely no idea what the reverse legend says ... I can see SEDMVHD.

Help appreciated.

The mint is Bury St Edmunds. Moneyer is Ion . He struck from 2a upto 5a3. This website should aid you further with tying the class down exactly.

Sounds good. He does have the long narrow bust of 2b. ?

Thanks so much guys. Does the terci stand for bury st Edmunds I can just see the TE.

[Ukstu]

No Terci is for three. King Henry Terci! It was eventually replaced in later class coins by III becoming HENRICUS REX III

Thanks UKstu  .. how did they spell bury st Edmunds was it the EDMVHD it just says bury st Edmunds in the book I have, not the abbreviation of it. 

[Ukstu]

It wasn't meant to be the full exact mint name, they couldn't fit it all on so it was abbreviated. I make it as IOH/OHS’/EDM/VHD which i suppose would translate as Ion at St edmunds so it would be SEDMUND as what looks like an H is actually an N and the V is a U. Hope that makes sense.?
