<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 7635113, member: 74712&quot;]I don’t believe it is considered a baronial issue, as it was issued anonymously/intentionally obscure.&nbsp; If I recall, this issue was only found at Lincoln and one other mint (I think Norwich, but I am unsure, and do not have the books near me).&nbsp; It is definitely a highlight!&nbsp; I never did a write-up for this coin, but I had already done one for Stephen anyway.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313327[/ATTACH] England</p><p>Irregular Issue (1138-1153)</p><p>Lincoln Mint, AR Local Issue Penny, 20.01mm x 1.02 grams</p><p>Obv.: [STIEFNE R] Bust facing crowned and diademed</p><p>Rev.: +[?GODWIN]E : ON : L[INC], lozenge with incurved sides, star at center, trefoil at each end, annulet in each corner</p><p>Ref.: North 897, SCBC 1301</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unknown - the legends are blundered.&nbsp; I suspect it is based off the Curtisasonien due to the spacing, but no way to know for sure (it may not even be Norman, to be honest).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313338[/ATTACH] Early Medieval - Carolingian Imitation</p><p>Viking / Frisian?, 10th c.
