England, Edward I

A little out of my norm, but this was a type I've wanted for a long time but was never motivated enough to get one til now (was a great price). It has a bit more blue toning than what shows in the pic.



England, Edward I (1272-1307), Penny, 1.26g., New coinage, class 9a1 (c.1299 to 1300/1), London mint, facing bust of King, star on breast, +EDWAR ANGL DNS HYB, rev., long cross with trefoil of pellets in each angle, CIVITAS LONDON (N.1036/1; S.1407), struck flat in parts, fine.

To show how little I know about these (way out of my 'norm'), my Durham mint reverse is upside down. I selected it as a good example of the cross 'ghosting' on the portrait. These thin flans were hard to get struck evenly.

 

Nice catch, not usually my cup of tea but a cool coin!

 

@randygeki, Neat coin! I find this to be one of the most interesting series of medieval coins. And you can’t go wrong with a coin that has a device on the breast!

@dougsmit, I love that Durham! You can clearly see the cross moline mintmark. I don’t know whether or not you already have a ID for it, but from the kings name, the cross moline, the bifoliate crown and the fact that it is from Durham we can narrow it down to just the secondary phase of group 10, or group 11. Looking at the shape of the crown, it definitely isn’t from group 11 or the late subclasses from group 10. The shape of the crown is very similar to that of class 10cf1 and 10cf3, but seeing as the intermediate ornaments are not arrow, but spearhead-shaped, it Is most probably a 10cf1 (although my eyes may just be deceiving me here, and they are perhaps worn arrowheads). The dating would be somewhere around the transition from Edward I to Edward II. 10cf1 makes it a very late Eddy the first, 10cf 3 a very early Ed II. Nice little coin either way!

 

@randygeki

Nice coin.

For some unintended reason I have ended up with 3 coins of Edward I. The first one is an English coin that I bought for my Historical Figures collection. The other 2 are Anglo Gallic coins. They came in a lot I bought in order to get an Eleanor of Aquitaine. They look similar but one was minted when Edward was heir to the throne, and one when he became king.

I find myself becoming more an more interested in these fascinating coins.

Wow, nice portrait!

 

Your hooked now. Once you start you can't stop.

 

• Thanks. I have long held the opinion that we need not be too dogmatic over our ID systems when we get to the point we need numbers like "10cf1" and rely on arrows vs. spears to separate them. I refuse to believe that the mint blew a whistle when they heard one Edward was replaced by another and made everyone trade in their dies before resuming striking. Of course this is worse when we are dealing with Henrys named John or Parthian kings named Arsakes. I'm fine with the idea of owning a coin that fell from the dies when one Edward had died and the next had not been crowned. Such will never be proved. I don't collect English but have wondered about my Romans. What did the mint do while dies for a new ruler were being prepared? Did they just sit there for an hour or a day? We have no records from Rome that bear on the question.

 

Well, since they are unintended, ergo, unloved: By all means donate them to the Alegandron Foundation of Wayward Coins, even though they are not in my wheelhouse...

 

Very nice - my only Edward I I bought in my early days of collecting. I think I purchased this particular type because it was the most easily identifiable as being Edward I without getting into small details (the legend starts with a pellet, and that's the giveaway).

I waited a long time to get one of these, and lucked out when I snagged this one!

 

Thanks all ^_^ and great coins!

That is a very nice coin @randygeki!
