Edward I (Class 3e) - Archiepiscopal

[Descartes]

Hello chaps,

Here's my other new purchase today. An Edward I York archiepiscopal penny: class 3e. According to the Galata Guide the class 3e was only coined in the Northern mints. Quite a scabby penny, but the quartrefoil on the reverse is really cool!

Someone’s been busy!

This reign is endless, the varieties just go on and on! Nice acquisition, Des! 👏

The one to look for for York is class 3 with single punched S on either side for Royal and Episcopal, both types and mules 3e/f are rare to the Nth degree

Thanks for the info Dave. I've not heard of this type before! It's always good to learn new things in your chosen field. In my humble opinion the Plantagenet coins are the most interesting to collect and study. There are so many interesting types and different moneyers to collect from Henry II to Richard III - with Edward I's coinage being my favourite!
