I've got a couple like that myself, not hammered English coins but a 1794 US cent and a couple of Irish farthings. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

It changed through time, but peak eras include the Late Saxon/Norman era - the time of King Edward I and again in the time of Henry VIII and of course Charles the 1st. There were even mints in Calais and other French cities as England occupied them in the 1066 - 1558 period. Usually before 1272, many pennies had the name of the moneyer and this could be either a Saxon name (Godwine, Elfric) or Norman (Geoffrey, Stivene) etc. Report this Post to the Staff
