The bits Crusader didn't want!

I suppose I should show what Cru left for me

At least I got my first short cross hammered Also my first Royal Farthing, though it's in bad nick.
A nice coin weight and a French coin...I think
Just the three Rose Farthings for me.

Abel
Ilger
Raulf
Walter

John is a good start for your shortcross collection

Well following the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror continued with the Anglo-Saxon coinage system. As a penny was a fairly large unit of currency at the time, when small change was needed a penny would be cut in half or into quarters at the mint of issue. Most of the cut pennys I have found are perfectly cut, then I am thinking those were cut by the mint. Yours appears to be cut at home, using just a metal cutter. Its not 'so' easy to cut a coin and keep it flat with cutters. He or she could have been a bit tipsy also and not taken so much care. The other half could have been rejected by stores, it was too small then. Quarters are hard to find.

That's because I didn't find one

Maybe I should have stuck to crocheting
