GREAT BRITAIN. Penny, ND (1038-40). Hertford Mint. Harold I Harefoot. NGC MS-62.
Fleur de Lis (BMC Vc) type; S-1165; North-803; cf. Hild-180; SCBI Cop-162 (plate coin); Bruun-1102. Weight: 1.12 gms. Moneyer: Godman. Two peckmarks are noted on the reverse. Attractive example with a deep toning.
Whereas Hildebrand reads the reverse as a York die and the 1928 catalog attributes it to Hereford, there can be little doubt that the issue was actually struck at the Hertfordshire county town.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Estimate: 700 - 900
