Medieval silver!! 🏰 On a mudlark in spring I spotted this tiny sliver of silver glinting in the sand. It’s a ‘cut half’ of a medieval silver short cross penny from the reigns of King John or Henry III! Before the introduction of smaller denominations, pennies were simply cut into halves to be valued as halfpennies, and quarters to become farthings. Short cross pennies ended under Henry III’s reign, but it is very difficult to distinguish between pennies of John and Henry (let alone cut halves)
