COIN
Unique ID: PUBLIC-AA94C0
Object type certainty: Certain
A large fragment of a silver penny of Henry I. York mint, moneyer LAISING. Annulets type. BMC 1.
The coin has been broken in half and the reverse is highly polished. Both effects are probably the result of the action of farm machinery. As the break is along both arms of the reverse cross, the coin may have, originally, been folded in half.
Notes:
This coin has been recorded on the EMC database no. EMC 2011.0177.
Dr. Martin Allen of the Fitzwilliam Museum has confirmed that only one other example is known of this moneyer in Henry I type 1, and so is an important find.
This is a find of note and has been designated: National importance
