HOME > GALLERY > PLANTAGENETS-EARLY >SHORT CROSS
The short cross series replaced the Henry II Tealby coinage in 1180 and lasted until 1237 in the reign of Henry III when it was replaced by the voided long cross coinage. Class nomenclature and chronology used here is that of Mass (2002). Dates shown on the icons below represent the coinage period, not necessarily the same as the monarchs' reign. The irregular issues from the Rhuddlan mint have been given their own section.
