King Richard Hammered's

The only hammered English I've found that beres a portrait of a King Richard is for King Richard III (1483-1485). Were there other King Richard's before and/or after III? If so, are there hammered coins during their reign?

    There was Richard I (1189-99) and Richard II (1377-99) All English coins from Richard I have the name Henry from his father. Most English coins before 1663 are hammered.

    Are coins readily available for these three kings?

    It depends on what you're looking for, North rates most of the coins scarce or rare.
    The only coin I would call easy is the Richard II halfpenny.

    The Richard III groat is also pretty common right now but most are selling for $2000 for more.
