The Angevin party (1139-48), anonymous issue in the name of King Henry I, Penny, 1.00g, west country mint, possibly Hereford, naive style bust right with broad double diadem in place of crown, sceptre before, legend most likely beginning by fleur of sceptre and probably attempting hen?[ricvs]r.ex?, rev. [o]n : h[eref?], quadrilateral on cross fleury as Henry I Type XV (BMC 279; Mack BNJ 35 1966, no.253; cf Ruding Supp. II, pl II, 11; N.940/2; S.1329), base silver as per normal for Angevin issues, flan crack at 9 o'clock, light undulations, well centred and exceptionally well preserved for this brittle anarchical coinage, very fine for issue, extremely rare and probably the fifth known specimen.
