Looks like a King Edward Hammered Penny.  Could I see a close-up of the reverse legends? Edward I?  If it is, that would put its date in the late 1200's.  Congrats!

Firstly its a heavily clipped coin & can't quite make out the Mint. I can see the bottom of CIVITAS (City of....).

The mintmark above the head is the clue. Its a cross fleury which dates it to 1427-34 in the reign of Henry VI. Its a Penny.

I sure its not a London mint so if you can see any letters that only leaves Calais, York & Durham as the main likelyhoods.

Thanks, I will blow it up some more and see what it does.

It is my understanding that CIVITAS on a Henry VI penny was for London, York ( 'EBORACI'), Durham ('DUNOLM') and Bristol (BRISTOW), but not Calais--which was shown as 'Villa Calisie'.

Yes, it looks like London mint. Thanks, Crusader! I missed the cross fleury.
