Hi Alex, because of the recoinage of 1279 under Edward I, this posthumous issue still has the voiced long cross design, with the obverse reading HENDRICS, same as Henry III. So they’re often listed as Henry III Pennies, and this can be very affordable steals if found listed as such. The only real difference in this issue is the development of portrait, before Edward changes the coinage completely. Hope this helps.

In the video you say they are often misidentified. How so? What do they get misidentified as?
