Great Britain
Kings of All England. Henry I (1100-1135) Penny ND (c. 1123) MS63 NGC, London mint, Aelfwine as moneyer, Pellets in Quatrefoil type, S-1275, N-870. 21mm. 1.31gm. +hENRIC[VS REX], crowned, diademed, draped bust of Henry facing, scepter in right hand; star in right field / ÆLFǷINE: ON: LVNDE:, quatrefoil with star in center and pellets on limbs; lis in each angle. A piece which in nearly all respects stands head-and-shoulders above the vast majority of Henry I's issues, let alone his pellets in quatrefoil coinage, masterfully struck and expertly centered on a broad flan of good metal. Despite a small flan crack around 12 o'clock, the legends are almost entirely full save for some contained weakness, the mint and moneyer legible without trouble--an extremely unusual feature for the issue. Splendidly lustrous and delightfully toned to a subdued argent, a piece that is sure to appeal to the connoisseur of hammered British coinage.
