I have picked up this Henry II penny for my medieval collection that I am quite pleased with. (full collection here - https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html

It's by the moneyier HVNFREI ON EVER which translates to Humphrey of York and as it seems to be a Type 1B dates it to 1180-1189.


New-Addition---Henry-II

I'm not really sure where Humphrey of York ranks in the list of how common these are - but I think York comes behind London and Canterbury for issue numbers in general..

EDIT: As I was reviewing the post for errors I noticed that the portrait looks a little like Beaker from the muppets and now I can't unsee that.
