Title: Not holding my Breath but.......
Post by: Chef Geoff on November 13, 2010, 08:30:52 PM
Hi Peter, as the title above but I'm wondering if there is any way you can narrow this Penny down to a monarch. Even before the plough and time had it's wicked way with it, it appears to have been very heavily clipped (right down to the inner circle) Taff and I have narrowed it down to a few kings by the design of the centre on the reverse but I'm wondering if this can be narrowed down by the crown or other remaining features.

There's very little to go on Geoff, but that chunky crown looks as if it should be distinctive. My best guess is Edward IV Irish, something like this, but without the mullets by the crown:
