Angevin Party Henry of Anjou Silver Cut Halfpenny 1139-1148AD extremely rare

17x8mm, 0.46g

Reverse type as Henry I type XV. S 1329

All Angevin coins are extremely rare and, generally poorly struck but this coin is in Extremely Fine condition. Probably down to the fact that it was turned in to a cut halfpenny shortly after being struck then quickly lost in favorable ground conditions which have preserved it in this extraordinary condition. A most pleasing piece in hand, even as a cut halfpenny!

Provenance will be provided, recorded with the EMC (Fitzwilliam museum, Cambridge)
