London Halfgroats with some Roman letters, notably the E and N in HENRIC are the first of the second coinage. They are very rare, though this feature is not uncommon at Canterbury on coins with mintmark Warham's 'uncertain' mark. The true London coin has saltires in the forks on the reverse, so this piece is strictly a mule.
