(x) William I (1066-87), Penny, 1.41g, paxs type, Abergavenny, Aelfwine, crowned and draped bust facing, sceptre to right, rev. iflipine on fvni, cross pattée, paxs in angles (cf. George Boon, Welsh Hoards 1979-1981 (Cardiff 1986), p.67; N.848; S.1257), very fine, extremely rare.
provenance
Spink Numismatic Circular, February 1992, no. 144, 'very fine and excessively rare, being one of only five known specimens'
The Numismatic Circular gives the reverse legend as iflipine of fani. However, reading the (retrograde) legend, there are three clear, albeit inverted, letter Ns, and it clearly reads on, not of. If the letters are inverted the mint name could read fvni
Estimate: £2000 - £2500
