Rhuddlan mint penny

Kevin Brown said he had purchased this coin as a voided short cross penny from the Rhuddlan mint but he wanted my opinion on it.

The detail isn’t altogether clear in places but this looks to me like a genuine product of the Rhuddlan mint. On the obverse there is a stop before the R of REX. On the reverse there is a cross pommee at the start of the legend, which reads TOMAS.ON – – LA.  The style of the cross pommee points towards this penny being an example of Rhuddlan class iic.

This is a decent example of quite a rare mint so it would count as a welcome addition to any collection of voided short cross pennies.
