Unidentified/Unidentifiable(?) Longcross

[Mr_Stephen]

...anyone up for a challenge?

Picked this up for a pittance a couple of weeks ago, but regardless of the amount of effort I put in, the only vaguely interesting remaining bit of detail are the two small "x" marks under the King's right shoulder.

My main problem is that I can't decide what these marks might be called, or it might make googling it rather easier! As it is however, I'm stumped. Does it look like a coin in anyone's collection? I'd love to know what it is if there is, indeed, any chance of identifying it!

those make your life easier

for a start the I at the end puts it at york

one i can find with the 2 * things are Henry VI although it could easily be richard II

The portrait looks very reminiscent of Richard II's local dies of York.

Cheers for the suggestions, people! Not sure about the reverse ending in 'l' - could just as easily be a 'D'. Also, the obverse may end in 'GI' or 'Gl' which would suggest pre-treaty Ed3, but I don't think the portrait's right. Hmm...

looks like an I to me, shame i cant make out the first couple of letters on the obverse that would clinch, but the * locations point me to where we are at.

[Mr_Stephen]

First couple of letters are indeed a bit too far gone to read. The end of the obverse does, however, appear to be "Gl" or "GI". An 'Anglia' reference perhaps? I've seen an inscription like this on a pre-treaty Edward...

Also, the letter before the double saltire stop on the obverse does appear to be an 'S' more than a 'D', but I wouldn't like to say for certain!

Looks likely to be the same make to me...
