Great work so far; always nice to see an early English Penny. Here is my sole contribution for this decade, a Chinese cast cash of the Northern Sung Dynasty. It was issued during the second reign of Emperor Che Tsung and can be dated to the range of 1094 to 1097 AD. I have attributed it as Hartill 16.292.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Yikes the week flew right by and I didn't get a chance to post anything from the 1080s, so will get us started right now. Here is a Denier of the French Lordship of Bearn that is datable to the broad range of 1080 to 1250 AD. The obv inscription is +ONOR FORCAS surrounding PAX and the rev inscription is something like CENTVLLO COTE. I have attributed it as Roberts 4181 and Duplessy 1241. I recognize that I really need to take better pics of this coin.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Again I have a sister to your coin, @Spence.  Viscounty of Bearn 1080-1250, denier, minted in Morlaas. Silver, 1.1 g, 19 mm. Duplessy 1241, Roberts 4181.  Obverse inscription: ONOR FORCAS, in center PAX. Reverse inscription: CENTVLLO COME (ME ligatured). This is the first type of coin minted in Bearn and it became immobilized for several centuries. The reverse inscription ("Count Centullo") likely refers to Centullo IV (1012-58) and/or Centullo V (1058-90). The meaning of the obverse inscription is not as clear. ONOR FORCAS could mean "privilege of the castle" on the local language, referring to the minting rights held by the castle's count. PAX ("peace") could be a reference to the peace upheld (forcibly if necessary) by the count in his viscounty. There are other interpretations as well. Edited by erafjel

Very nice @era and thank you for clarifying the history and inscriptions! Also, thx for the post @paul. Here is another Cast Cash from the Northern Song Dynasty. This one was issued by Emperor Zhe Zong in the date range 1086 to 1093 AD. I have attributed it as Hartill 16.275. Again, apologies for the substandard pics.

I am very sparse with only 5 coins in the pre 1100's and only one in this time period and it will not move the thread. 1077-95 Hungarian Denar under King Ladislaus I;Huszar 27,Unger 22,REthy I-33,CAC Vol. I/10.8/b2.1/14. It has a sigla of 2 small wedges at about 7:00 and is one sigla variety out of 39.  |

Great contributions! I hope to see some more, but in the meanwhile, here is my last coin to post for this decade.
This is a Dinero from the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon that is datable to the time period 1109 to 1126 AD. It was minted at Toledo. The inscriptions are ANFVS REX and TOLETA. I have attributed it as C&C 919.
@Spence - I have a very similar coin that I recently posted about in another thread here: http://goccf.com/t/429613Would you be willing to have a look at my thread and share your thoughts about this coin and my observations of it? I would be very grateful for the input. |

Yep @quin, I just replied. @edd, no prob--glad to have the contribution even if it won't move us back. I have a pair of Cast Cash from the Northern Song Dynasty (Emperor Sung Shun Tsung). They both can be dated to the range 1078 to 1085 AD. The attribution on the first one is Hartill 16.210 while the attribution on the second one is Hartill 16.211.

County of Melgueil 1076-1316, denier. Billon, 1.0 g, 18 mm. Duplessy 1578, Roberts 4336.  Obv: Uncertain what is depicted - a cross made up of two bishop's mitres, some say. Inscription: #Λ###V##OS (degenerated from RAMVNDOS - Raymond). Rev: Four pellets (possibly a highly degenerated immobilization of a Carolingian coin monogram for the Frankish king Odo). Inscription: ##Λ#DO##Λ (degenerated from NAIDONA - Narbona). A very wide time span on this immobilized denier which looked pretty much like this for about 250 years. The prototype is believed to be a denier by Raymond I of Narbonne, minted around 1000. The immobilized coin type, also called a melgorien, had widespread use in southern France in the 12th-13th centuries.

With the 'immobilised' English coins (Henry II-Henry III, Edward I-III), the experts seem to have been able to break them down to the nearest 4 or 5 years based on whether the E is pointed or the crown is a bit crooked. |
