Hi,

I am working my way through some unidentified coins and am a bit unsure with this one.

From my assessment it is an Edward II Farthing (S. 1474) based upon the crown and collar. Type 10 or 11 or 13. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-farthings-classification

A second opinion would be fantastic.

Thanks for any help.

I think you are there or thereabouts. There is definitely an inner circle both sides, and a CIVITAS LONDON reverse.  The obverse Iegend is probably EDWARDVS REX but there is too little face/crown detail to be much more specific - certainly North class 10 or later, and likely Edward II. The North classification has been substantially re-written and subdivided in the Withers (Galata) publications which are highly recommended.

I agree with you both, and just enough detail to get you there. Highly recommend the Galata guides too.

Similar for me.

And if you live within an hour or two of Galata's address, have a day out walking in the area and pick them up. You will probably be offered a cup of tea and a slice of cake. :)

Paul and Bente are nice people. :)

Thank you all very much for your help. The Galata guide seems like a great resource, I will have to order myself one. I am from Australia, however, so I fear the walk may be a bit too far. I will be sure to update the post if I make any further progress.

Cheers.
