Edward II of England VILL/SCIE/DMV/NDI Bury St Edmunds - hard mint to get, not sure why EDWARD is missing its 'D'

 

[jimmy uk]

Looks to be a European Sterling Immitation which circulated at the same time as the Edwards. The EW (without the 'D') is the first clue, the reverse mint makes little sense as well.

what does that mean mate? is it a fake

My mistake, I just edited. Can't work out why it was not spelt properly. Immitations (produced by French Dukes for example) circulated with our coins they just had less silver & if spotted were worth less than a Penny.

maybe the chap making the die didnt know how to spell
