looks an odd one to me . Obverse looks like a Henry III class 8A but revese hasn't got a moneyer (CIVITS L?ONDE) so would suspect a Continental imitation!

Well done Jeff Smiley

This one was a bit unfair.

It's a Westphalian shortcross imitation of Bernhard III, 1229-1265. A pretty rare coin, which sold for 750 euros in a recent auction.

The lesson is that with issues that are very well-researched like shortcross, voided long cross and Eddie pennies, if it doesn't fit with anything in the Spink catalogue, then it's either a forgery or a Continental imitation.
