it's a short cross penny from Henry III (1216-1272)minted in Canterbury by monyer Osmund On reverse : OSMUND ON CAN
The coin was in very bad condition when found. But was cleaned till this beauty by JKXS's spitting method.

well done michiel. Looking in my book I thought it was either a John or a Henry 1. Fancy finding it in Holland.
