Nice one Silky, bet your mate was pleased to see the short cross, when they turn up they could be anyone from Henry ii, John, Richard, Henry III, I can see why your mate asked for an i.d. they all look the same to me  ;D

They are really hard to tell. I think you can rule out Richard 1st as he has seven pellets on his crown not five. Nice coin
