ENGLISH MEDIEVAL COINS - HENRY IV - DURHAM - PENNY 1412-1413 AD Light coinage. Obv: facing bust with slipped trefoil on breast and +HENRICVS REX ANGLIE legend. Rev: long cross and pellets with CIVITAS DVNOLM legend for Durham mint. 0.82 grams. Near very fine for issue; excellent bust and clear mark, reverse off centre, hairline flan crack. Very rare. Provenance Found Essex, UK, 2015. Literature S.1735; N. 1365; see Walters, F. A. The Coinage of Henry IV, NC 4th series, V (1905), p.59 and pl.XIII, 12 (possible die duplicate). Footnotes Spink and North refer to the symbol on the breast as being a 'trefoil' but Walters (cited above) and Stewartby (in English Coins, 1180-1551 ) correctly state this to be a 'slipped trefoil' (a trefoil with a stem at the base) and resembling a small cross, especially on worn coins.
