A side by side comparison of Henry II “Tealby” style penny minted between 1161-1165 (left) and his new “short-cross” style minted between 1180-1189 (right). Note the dramatic improvement in production.
An extremely rare Henry II short cross penny minted between 1180-1189 by Reinald in Northampton, class 1a2. The redesign of the penny by Henry represented a major improvement in quality and consistency from the previous “Tealby” design.
Coining die for a Scottish bawbee of Charles II, dated 1679. Dies were normally destroyed for security reasons. This one was seized from the Scottish mint due to a corruption scandal, thereby ensuring its survival. From @NtlMuseumsScot’s collection #ScottishHistory #Numismatics
A rare example of a Scottish halfpenny from Robert III, struck in Edinburgh during the “light coinage” period btwn 1403-1406. All of Robert III pennies and halfpennies were struck from substantially debased silver due to lack of silver being brought to the mint for recoinage
A neat example of a Henry II “Tealby” penny, class C1, minted by Willem in Newcastle between 1161-1165. What makes this special is the provenance. This penny was part of Dr. John Sharp’s (Archbishop of York) collection put together between 1687-1714.
Amazingly, you can read about the spread of Viking-Age markets and market-style economics from southern Scandinavian sites like this to the Insular Scandinavian world of Ireland and Britain! (I can vouch for the author)

Alexander III penny, second coinage, minted between 1280-1286- class Ma/A mule. This is from a previously unknown reverse die with a colon stop before the SCOT on the reverse, thus extremely rare. Obv: ALEXANDER DEI G’RA Rev: REX/:SCO/T:TO/RVM
Here is a fantastic new book by Paul and Bente Withers that covers all the small change minted between 1279-1660. This is a comprehensive book that combines multiple smaller, more narrowly focused, publications. An absolute *must have*
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and I would like to wish you and your families a happy new year! I have also started my BlueSky account phillyadam.bsky.social if you want to follow me over there. Thanks for all your likes and support the last year!
A Henry V florette, 4th issue minted in Rouen, France starting on June 16, 1420. All were struck from highly debased silver just after Henry signed the treaty of Troyes in May of that year making Henry heir to the kingdom of France upon the death of King Charles VI of France.
Found mid January this year, what on the outside looks to be a tatty hammered coin, but is in fact an extremely rare halfpenny of Edward IV, 2nd reign. Minted in Durham, under Bishop Dudley. Dating to c. AD 1473-1483. North vol II. No. 1699
For #FindsFriday - the astonishing sight of the imprint of Carolingian coins in the leather pouch which housed part of the late 9th-century Roswinkel hoard. In the @DrentsMuseum in Assen: 📷my own.
Ok, you know you have a problem when 1) You find these online and just have to order them despite paying thru the nose for shipping for something I have never used in the past and 2) I immediately ID the class and minting date of each coaster.
A rare Edward III half penny from the treaty period minted in London between 1361-1369. This rare variety with the pellet before the letter “E” on the obverse and annulet stop after the “N” on the reverse is in excellent condition. Withers type 17d(i)
Edward III half groat, Treaty Period series B, minted in London between 1361-1369. +oEDWARVS:REX:AnGL:DnS:hYB’ +POSV/IxDEVM/xADIVTO/RExMEV
Edward III, half penny from the first coinage minted in Berwick-upon-Tweed between 1327-1335. Note the bears head in two quarters of the reverse. These were produced from local dies and have a much cruder appearance to those produced in London.
This beautiful seal bag, embroidered with the Royal Arms of England, was made in 1280 to protect the wax seal attached to a royal charter from the reign of Edward I. Both the charter and the seal bag survive in our archive collection. #ManuscriptMonday

Wild-haired, surprised and waving from the margins - Another doodle from an early 12th century manuscript, Paris, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, Ms. 95, f. 3v
Looks like my 1989 permission is safe for the foreseeable future. So looking forward to adding to the lovely items I found last year. These will all be recorded with @findsorguk in due course.
An impression of the Scottish gold eagle crown of James V in a French money-changer’s manuscript from the 1520s. There are no surviving specimens of this coin so this document is the only reason we know what it looks like. From Joan Murray’s numismatic archive @NtlMuseumsScot
Of the four English siege mints of the Civil Wars, Pontefract was the only one to produce gold coins. The Pontefract siege pieces are the earliest coins to be struck in the name of Charles II. It wouldn't be until after the Restoration of 1660 that his name reappeared on coins.
Gold unite (£1) siege piece struck by the Royalist defenders of Pontefract Castle from February to March 1649. They held out for two months after the execution of Charles I, during which time they issued this coin in the name of Charles II. From the @britishmuseum's collection.
The Norse raven appears on this silver penny of Anlaf Guthfrithsson, the Viking king of York, minted from 939 to 941. It’s from the collection of the @hunterian museum.
@PhillyAdam Very nice 👍
@PhillyAdam The moniers punishment might have had something to do with the improvement!
A lovely frilly fringe and mane on this ‘elephant done by a medieval artist that had never seen one’ - 2nd half of the 15th century, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek - Xylogr. 37, f. 42r
Just a reminder in case you are lucky enough to find a hoard or other significant find. Note it CAN now be used even if you are on an organised dig. You just need to be an NCMD member
From 1st Jan 2023 to 3rd May 2023 I'd found 64 medieval coins. So far this year I've found 2. Got a bit of catching up to do 😬
The Pilgrims Ampulla. From the 12th - 14th centuries, pilgrims were likely to purchase an Ampulla, filled with holy oil or water. Possibly to bless the land. This one is decorated with a relief cross in a circle. Found pre @findsorguk
@PhillyAdam @SDetectorist And thanks to you both for the education lesson again :-)
@StephenMarnick @PhillyAdam Absolutely 👍
@PhillyAdam @SDetectorist But he's not getting the drink lmao...that goes to you @PhillyAdam ..whenever you're over here ...or me there!
@PhillyAdam @StephenMarnick Phew 😅
@PhillyAdam @StephenMarnick Oh, I missed the "N" , I have no excuse, and very happy to be corrected. I will try to do better next time. Unfortunately my book lumps C and D together.
@StephenMarnick @PhillyAdam Your most welcome, and a cup of tea would be just fine ☕😊
@StephenMarnick @PhillyAdam No problem always happy to help out. With that reverse legend it could only be 2b or some class 3. Just a case of trying to match crowns and neckline after that. Will still be in the same date range either way.
@SDetectorist @PhillyAdam Thanks....jeez you're quick
