is this first british coin with cross?

I may have asked this once before, not sure-- but is my british minim (struck anytime late 4th century to 5th century or so) with the cross on the reverse....is this the first instance of a Christian cross being struck onto a coin IN England?

Not the first coin with a Christian cross to come OVER to England, but perhaps the first time struck ON a coin IN England? Seems to be an imitation of a valentinian II roman coin which kind of places it in a 375-92 AD context at possible earliest.
