Dramatic double struck British short cross penny

1 post in this topic

Here is an unusual short cross penny which has been double struck, with heads on tails and tails on heads! Quite shoddy work, even by medieval standards.

 

I think it's King John or King Henry III but hard to make much sense of it with the legends all wacky.
