Buyer's premium:

A circular, hammered coin, likely composed of silver or a silver alloy, characteristic of a medieval European issue. The obverse features a left-facing crowned bust in profile, surrounded by a partially legible Latin legend, including the clear inscription “HENRICUS REX” (Henry King). The reverse displays a long cross design extending to the rim, with groups of three pellets within each quarter, and a surrounding legend partially visible, appearing to contain characters such as ‘LO’ and ‘ND’, suggesting a potential London mintmark.
