Henry II or Richard?

Any assistance with this  would be much appreciated.

Rev clearly is RAVL ON LVND which, according to Wren, means only Type 1b or 2.  Unfortunately chin is worn and beard indistinguishable.  The X in REX appears to have seriffs which would eliminate Type 1b.  N's have seriffs indicating Type 2.

 

Weight 1.42g, diam. 19-20mm

 

Any comments well appreciated, I lean to Type 2 but not confident

I don't know these, but see that our Numista listing also says Type 1b usually has a stop before REX, and yours is pretty clear there with no stop.

VM Thanks for your interest and yes your comment reflects my tendency to believe it is Type 2.  The beard is difficult to identify but I think tat also indicates Type 2 (curls split 2-5 across fact).

 

Many thanks once again,

 

Kevin
