Henry I Silver Penny Type XIV 1100-1135AD London
20mm, 1.38g

Following the death of William Rufus, his younger brother Henry claimed the thrown of England. Notably, there was a period of monetary crisis during the reign, which led to a public lack of confidence in the quality of the coinage minted. In response, coins were officially mutilated with an edge incision when issued to force the public to accept damaged coins.

Some good details for this example of the pellets in quatrefoil type.
This coin comes with an old collectors ticket.
