124 Mr. Longstaffe on Groats found at Embleton. 



supposed that the quarters of pennies may have been 

 punched with three letters at once, and thus we have 

 such blunders as can-tas, for can-tor, but this groat 

 shows that such cannot have been the case with groats. 1 



3. — Same, but no blunder. The Irish title has hybe, and 

 the final members of the fleured cusps form knobs of 

 the crown. The same is perhaps the case with No. 2. 1 



4. — No fleurs above crown, london civitas. Three varieties. 



a. With the old a and c retained as in the above coins 3 



b. With the new A and c . . .9 



c. Same, but with a fleur de lis on the king's breast 2-14 

 5. — Same as 4 b, but eboraci civitas. . . .1 

 6. — civitas London. Something like a dot among the pellets 



under crvi, and apparently an annulet among them 

 under lon. . . . . . .1 



Irish and Aquitanian titles. 



7. — Double annulets between words on obverse. Fleured 

 cusps above crown, london civitas. . . ,1

No coins of Richard II. and Henry IV. 



HENRY V. 



8. — No fleurs on cusps above crown. No star on breast. 

 Head resembling that on early half-groats. Nothing 

 after posvi, but a small quatrefoil in the next quarter 

 before devm. . . . . . .1 



9. — posvi — quatrefoil. Star on left breast. All read anglie. 4 

 10. — Same, but France instead of eranc. . . . 1

HENRY V.— VI. 

 Annulet coinage. Calais mint. 



11. — Henry V.'s head. Cusp on breast fleured. anglie. 



Annulets, as if broken, on the dexter side, but the coin 



is partly double-struck, and in a poor state. . . 1 



12. — Same. Annulets perfect. . . . .7 



13. — Same, anlie. The condition does not allow me to say 



whether there is a fleur on the cusp under the breast. 1 

 14. — Same, anglie. But no fleur on that cusp, and breasts 



more like Henry YI.'s. . . . .1 



15. — Same. angl. . . . . . .12 



16. — Same, but with heavy head of Henry VI. . • 6
