Description
“Silver Halfpenny of Richard II”
England, London Mint, ca. 1377–1399 CE
Hammered silver halfpenny struck during the reign of Richard II. The obverse bears a crowned portrait of the king, while the reverse displays the long cross and pellets design characteristic of late medieval English coinage. Issued during a period marked by social unrest, war taxation, and political instability following the Black Death, coins such as this circulated widely in everyday urban and rural commerce throughout late fourteenth-century England.
