Context
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Henry III (1216-1272), Long cross coinage (1247-79), Phase III (Post-provincial), Class 5b, Silver cut farthing. Uncut penny struck at the Durham regional mint c. 1250-72. Medieval coins were cut into halves and quarters to provide fractional denominations without the need to strike new coins. It is thought these were generally cut at the mint, although it is also likely to have happened during transactions. Cut farthings are known in England from Anglo-Saxon times (c. 750s) until Edward I introduced round farthings and halfpennies in the new coinage of 1279.
