Lettering
CIVI TAS EBO RACI
Translation
City of York.
Mints and mintmarks
York, under Archbishop Thomas Rotherham.
Engraver and mintmaster marks
T and trefoil flank the neck. Recorded initial marks include a rose and a halved sun-and-rose; identification depends on the individual die.
Identification and varieties
The broad range falls within Henry VII’s reign and Rotherham’s archiepiscopate. The two rows identify recorded initial-mark forms, not different calendar years. The halved sun-and-rose specimen also has a cross on the breast.
Measurements
Recorded specimen measurements, not a fixed specification for every coin. Hammered flans vary.
