Irish Coins from Various Properties
Edward IV (Second reign, 1471-1483), Light Cross and Pellets coinage, Penny, Waterford, w on breast, lis by neck, rev. no additional marks, 0.39g/3h (cf. DNW 132, 337; cf. Burns W-16; S –; DF –). Small of flan and perforated near centre, about fine and excessively rare, from a different obverse die to the only other known specimen £400-£500
---
Similar to a coin offered in DNW Auction 132, 15 September 2015 (lot 337). The footnote stated 'Burns lists no penny bearing a mint initial on the breast. In this respect, the current coin looks like a miniature version of a groat. He does however comment on the odd style of some of the Waterford pieces (W-24H and W16 footnotes), which would certainly describe the bulging eyes and ropey hair on the current specimen. As for the lis by the neck, these too seem to be quite unknown elsewhere in the Edward IV series'. The style of this specimen, from different dies, is not quite so striking but all the other points remain valid
