From the
style of
portrait and crown it looks like
Henry V, VI or Edward IV. Definitely not Edward I-III or Richard II as coins of these reigns are quite different in
style (and usually larger and better struck), and coins of Richard III are really
scarce. And I think I can see "hEn" at about 1-2 o'clock on the
obverse (certainly doesn't look like "EDW" or "
RIC") - so I'd say it's
Henry V or VI.
To narrow things down any further I'd have to look through my reference books. Pennies of these reigns often have small marks like circles, crosses and keys in the
field next to the
portrait, which can sometimes be enough to precisely attribute a coin even if no
legend is visible! This one has an annulet (
circle) to the right and, more faintly, a trefoil (Y-like shape) to the left. It'd
help to know what
mint the coin is from, but I can't make out any letters clearly on the
rev. Probably not York as this
mint almost always
had a
quatrefoil in the centre of the
rev. cross.
(edit) One other thing - could you give the size/diameter of the coin? I think it could be a halfpenny, not a penny. After a quick look through Seaby/Spink "Coins of
England" I can't find any
Henry pennies with trefoil/annulet on the
obverse, but there's a halfpenny of
Henry V which appears to be a match.
