Description:
Penny.
From Dalton & Hamer 'These, also those for penny and halfpenny, were struck for the sole use of the boys of Christ's Hospital, and were known as Housey-money. It was illegal for boys to make purchases outside the gates, or to retain possession of current coin; it was changed by one of the beadles.'
