Short Cross coinage, Penny, Canterbury, class IVc/Va1 mule, Roberd, roberd· on ca·, barred a in ca, obv. c for e in rex, reversed s, 1.21g/12h (SCBI Mass 1156, same dies; N 968/3/969; S 1349/1350). Nearly very fine and rare £120-£150

This reverse die is used with true Va coins of Roberd (Mass 1227) and Samuel (Mass 1236). The muling of different numismatic types is not unusual but when the change of type coincides with a major recoinage, as it does in 1204, such an occurrence seems extraordinary.
