1272 SILVER PENNY LONDON MINT EDWARD I

A rare medieval silver penny minted in London during the reign of Edward I (1272-1307). This authentic numismatic specimen represents a significant period in English coinage history, when the Long Cross design was standard for English pennies. Edward I's reign marked important developments in monetary standardisation across the realm. The coin exhibits the characteristic features of 13th-century minting, including the sovereign's portrait and mint mark identifying its London origin. An excellent addition to any serious collection of medieval English currency or historical artefacts from the Plantagenet era.
