<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3496401, member: 74968&quot;]When I first started collection mediaeval coins my focus was on historical figures I recognized and was interested in. This included Edward I of England. I loved that one could possess a coin of such an historical figure. For his wars against the Scots he was given the title &quot;The hammer of the Scots&quot;. He was also called &quot;Longshanks&quot; for his tall stature. His program of building many castles across Great Britain was his way of enforcing English rule. A coin like this is great for a beginner not only because of its history but because of its availability and price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edward the 1st pennies are widely available in a range of conditions. Overall they are not rare. They are also affordable. The one below was 50.00 USD. It has a nice portrait and mostly readable legends.</p><p><br /></p><p>For around 50.00 a new collector can buy a coin issued by one of the most famous kings of England. I would call that a good start to any mediaeval collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]926226[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>England, Plantagenet Kings</p><p>ND AR Penny Edward I 1272-1307 London</p><p>(19.1 mm 1.4 g)</p><p>Class III g, late “S”. </p><p>North 1022 S 1393</p><p>Purchased from H.
