Mr_Stephen Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Quite a nice find, this. Or it is to me, anyway. I believe the obv is [henric]US REX III.As for the rev...well...it appears to end either ILV or TLV. Would this be 'LV' as in 'LVND'? If so, I'm having trouble working out the name of the moneyer.And if anyone had any ideas as to the class, well, that'd be pretty amazing! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 HENRI (London)? Class V (with sceptre)?? Just guessing really! Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 The reverse of your piece reads RIO NLV with the N and L ligated.Perhaps a class Vb. Hard to tell with the absence of the crown or eyes. Quote
Mr_Stephen Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 That's an 'N'? Blimey!But thanks for helping pinpoint. RIONLV being henRI ON LVnd then? Excellent. Thank you!I like Henry III's Mick Jagger lips. Quote
Peter Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 That's an 'N'? Blimey!But thanks for helping pinpoint. RIONLV being henRI ON LVnd then? Excellent. Thank you!I like Henry III's Mick Jagger lips.I would prefer Jerry Hall...both sets Quote
Mr_Stephen Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 Recataloguing my coins with the help of my old posts here (and my new Spink - thanks Clive!) I've come across this old one. Alth I thought said coin was a Henry, consensus that it's a class V would actually mean it's a John. Is consensus correct, or does anyone have any other suggestions? Quote

Go forward a couple of pages in Spink. Quote
Mr_Stephen Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Well, that makes me the class clown! I had (once) known it was a longcross, but taking a few weeks off from anything coiny means I forgot that Henry IIIs come in two different (cross) flavours. Quote
