Hi All
I recently bought this coin and although I can make out the moneyer Adam On Lund on the one side, I am a bit stumped on the other......is that a cross or an optical illusion? Is it Henry? Richard? Anglo Saxon? Viking? Or something else.....
So my question is..... " What do I have"?
I Would appreciate any input......
Regards
Rick

Assuming it's not a modern concoction of some kind (the surfaces are oddly colored), North lists Adam as a London moneyer for short-cross classes 5b (John), 5c (John), 7b (Henry III) and 7c (Henry III). All four of these classes are HENRICVS REX with scepter obverse types. Your coin seems to suffer from a bungled strike or multiple strikes. Because the flans are so thin, the cross sometimes "ghosts" on the obverse because there is not enough metal to fill both dies. The incuse cross on the obverse may also be the result of a counter-brockage situation in which your coin was struck a second time with another previously-struck coin getting between your coin and the obverse die. Compare this class 5b short-cross penny of moneyer Arnaud at Canterbury (image courtesy CNG):

Thanks for your replies!!
ditcoins l think you are spot on. The weight of the coin is 1.46 and it's 2 cm across.
how would you put a value on this coin? More because its different or less because its double struck?

Unfortunately, the strike diminishes the coin's monetary value. The trick with these early coins is to find those that don't have errors! An interesting piece none the less.
