About this coin

The scarce facing penny of Canterbury bears Morton’s M at the reverse centre. It precedes the arched-crown joint issue without that letter.

Obverse

The king’s head wears an open crown. Crosses flank the neck and a tun identifies the issue.

Script: Latin

Lettering

HENRIC … REX ANGL

Translation

Henry … King of England.

Reverse

A long cross and groups of pellets divide the Canterbury inscription, with M at the centre.

Script: Latin

Lettering

CIVITAS CANTOR
M

Translation

City of Canterbury. M identifies Morton.

Mints and mintmarks

Canterbury under Archbishop John Morton.

Engraver and mintmaster marks

Tun on the obverse; crosses by the neck; M in the reverse centre.

Identification and varieties

The broad range is based on Morton’s tenure during Henry VII’s reign and is not a precise die chronology. The ellipsis marks an incompletely transcribed obverse legend. Weight is a recorded specimen measurement; there is no established mintage figure.

Measurements

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