PLANTAGENET. John. 1199-1216. AR Penny (18mm, 1.42 g, 3h). Class Vb2. Canterbury mint; uncertain moneyer. Struck in the name and types of Henry II, 1205-1207. Crowned facing bust; [cross-tipped scepter to left] / [+...] ON · CANTЄ[....], voided short cross, with quatrefoil in each quarter. Cf. SCBI 56 (Mass), 1359-62 (moneyer Hue); North 970; SCBC 1351. VF, toned. The moneyer’s name is regretably not struck up on this piece, but it appears that the name ends with an M, N, or other letter with an upright. Considering the spacing, it must be a short name..
