Halfpenny of Edward III

A detectorist signing himself as Jeff sent in the images this hammered silver coin and asked for a full ID.

The coin measures about 14mm in diameter and has a legend on the obverse that reads +EDWARDVS REX An with a pellet before the first letter. On the reverse the legend reads CIVI TAS LOn DOn with an annulet directly after DOn.

The preceding details add up to this coin being a halfpenny of Edward III. It was struck during phase B2 of the treaty period, which commenced in 1361 and ended in 1369. In the Standard Catalogue halfpennies of this type are listed as number 1635.

This isn’t a particularly scarce halfpenny but is certainly a decent example of its type.
