Estimate: £30–£40

Henry III (1216-1272), Continental imitation of a Short Cross type Penny, WALTER·OR·ON, unusual style with sceptre below and to left of bust, obverse legend starts HHEN, 1.43gm. Very fine but with evidence of double striking, unusual (£30-40)

An unusual piece; perhaps Germanic, though the style of portrait is not like any shown by Stewartby (NC 1995)
