The 1136-1145 Penny - Stephen

Silver Penny of King Stephen, minted around 1136-1145 at the Nottingham Mint of Moneyer Sveinn.

Diameter 21mm, weight 1.47g. SCBC: 1286. North: 925/1.

The Obverse shows a crowned bust facing right holding a lis-tipped sceptre. Legend is party defaced by the mint. Later they would also erase part of the dies due to the demands of the civil war when old dies were re-used.

The Reverse shows a cross moline (a Christian cross that is a cross with the end of each arm forked and recurved). Part of the coin erased like the obverse was.

Coin shown graded as Good VF.
