William I, the Conqueror (1066-1087) Penny ND (1068-1070) MS62 NGC, Wallingford mint, Brihtmaer as moneyer, Bonnet type, S-1251, N-842, EMC-1012.0038 (same dies), BMC (Normans)-155 (different dies), SCBI XII-38 (same dies). 1.30gm. +ǷILLEMV REX, crowned and diademed bust of William facing with two fillets at each side of head / +BRIHT[..]IER ON ǷIILL, voided cross with annulet in center, pellet between two crescents at end of each limb, piles in angles. An especially attractive example of this more elusive mint, represented in combination with this moneyer by only 12 total coins in the Early Medieval Corpus of Coin Finds, just 3 of which are of the Bonnet type (2 of which share the same obverse die). Well-centered and lustrous on the flan, we would note the presence of some light creasing through the bust.
Ex. Spink Auction 19004 (March 2019, Lot 97)
