Hello all.

I am having some difficulties with this halved short cross penny.

Specifically I am finding it hard to distinguish between early Class 1 of Henry II and early Class 5 of John. Both have the stop after the S of hENRICVS and a similar portrait structure.

The poor condition of the piece doesn't help as it makes the hair not possible to see.

I was wondering if anyone here could help to push me in the right direction.

Thank you.

It is rough but i think there is enough information to identify it. 

I can read VND + PIE i think. Which would make it Pieres at London Mint.

Spink guide shows Pieres & Pieres M minting at London during class 1 under Henry II. 

Stu.
