<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HammeredCoin, post: 2226839, member: 75598&quot;]Ok here is another interesting example of a Edward I penny.&nbsp; This was minted by one of the Archiepiscopal mints that were active at the time. This coin was minted by the Archbishop of York.&nbsp; Edward I also had his own royal mint in York, however, the Archbishop was given the right to mint his own pennies for his own profit.&nbsp; Production/output by the Archbishop was limited by Edward, achieved by controlling the number of dies in the Archbishop&#039;s possession.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse of the coin, the coins minted by the Archbishop of York have what is called a &quot;quatrefoil&quot; in the center.&nbsp; The pennies minted at the royal mint in York are identical to those from the Archiepiscopal mint with this one exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always thought it was a neat little sub story to this period; how the church&#039;s influence was even seen in numismatic history.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]437200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437201[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
