About this coin

A second York facing-penny design pairs T and a cross beside the portrait and places a lower-case h at the reverse centre.

Obverse

The crowned king faces forward with the two identifying devices beside his head.

Translation

Henry, by the grace of God, King of England.

Reverse

A long cross divides groups of three pellets and the mint inscription. The centre contains h, distinguishing this issue from the quatrefoil-centred penny.

City of York.

Mints and mintmarks

Engraver and mintmaster marks

T and cross beside the bust; h at reverse centre. Initial mark not securely read on the recorded specimen.

Identification and varieties

Bracketed lettering represents restored or missing parts of the recorded specimen’s inscription. The broad date range lies within the king’s reign and Rotherham’s tenure; this does not assign an individual year of manufacture.

Measurements

Recorded specimen measurements, not a fixed specification for every coin. Hammered flans vary.
