COIN
Unique ID: PUBLIC-C94F50
Object type certainty: Certain
A hammered silver penny of William 1st from the Two Stars issue circa 1077 - 1080.
Recorded by the Fitzwilliam Museum as EMC 2011.0160.
This is a coin of a previously unrecorded Hastings moneyer named Eadwine, reading +EADPINE ON AESI (AESI being an acceptable abbreviation of the name of Hastings in the coinage of William 1st) The Hastings mint has been recorded in this type (William 1st type 5) from three coins of the moneyer Dunninc, but this is a new moneyer and so a very significant find.
