This week’s fresh listings:

This page is to be updated every Tuesday and will contain all the latest Coin, Medal & Token listings for that particular week.

The more observant of you may have realised that I no longer keep previous "Fresh Listings" coins on this page.

All for sale coins can be found via the category grid on the front page. Most sold coins are now accessible via a new link on that same category grid.

A significant reduction:

WMH-9114 (F.LIM): Henry 1st Hammered Silver Norman Penny - Choice Portrait. Quadrilateral on Cross Fleury, B.M.C. XV type, S.R. 1276. +EST[MVN]D:ON:LVND - London mint; Eastmund as moneyer. A rarer moneyer - only seven examples listed on the excellent EMC database. Attractive dark toning and a spectacular portrait of Henry 1st 'Beauclerc' who was actually only the fourth son of William 1st. The Empress Matilda was Henry's daughter (along with many illegitimate children), thus the blood line is obvious although with Henry seizing the English throne over his elder brothers, the precedent was perhaps already there for Stephen?! From a good collection. An outstanding Norman penny. £1,395.................now reduced to £999 fixed..........that's nearly 30% off!!!

Additions to www.HistoryInCoins.com for week commencing Tuesday 14th October 2025

WSC-9209: James V Scottish Hammered Silver Stuart Groat. Second coinage (the first was just gold), 1526-39. Type IIIc, S.R. 5378. Holyrood Abbey Mint. James ascended the throne aged just one year old. Coincidentally, upon her father's death, Mary (the future Mary Queen of Scots), James's only legitimate heir, was only seven days old when she ascended! You'd be challenged to source average or lesser grade James V groats for under £1,000 these days - this coin is definitely not one of those. A high grade example of one of the most attractive hammered silver coins ever to be issued, not just in Scotland but in the entire British Isles. £995

WMH-9210: Henry III Voided Long Cross Hammered Silver Penny. Class 3b – earlier Phase II “Provincial” issue, 1248-50: hUGE ON NORWIZ – Norwich mint. S.R. 1363. A seldom seen mint for Henry III - find another for sale with this moneyer! £155

WMH-9211: A Jolly Good Henry V Medieval Hammered Silver Groat. 1413 – 1422, initial mark Pierced Cross, mullet on the right shoulder, class C, London mint. Spink 1765. Henry V of the Battle of Agincourt fame: I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. This is obviously Shakespeare's interpretation on Henry's St Crispin's Day speech but it's generally believed that Henry V gave a rousing speech to his men, who, remember, were vastly outnumbered, just before they defeated the French. Ironically, Henry V died of fever at the very young age of 35 in France. An unusually high grade and thus very rare example of this coin that is usually found in quite worn condition. In fairness, the dies were sunk too shallow on the face, especially the nose, often leading to the appearance of circulatory wear. Overall a good, solid VF which is not an easy grade to find any Henry V silver coin in. £895

Provenance:

ex A Cooper-Cowl collection

WMH-9212: William “Rufus” II Norman Hammered Silver Penny. Right facing bust issue (B.M.C. I) of 1086–89 only. +P[IG]MVND ON P[IN]C – Wigmund of Winchester. Only x6 recorded examples of any William II for Winchester on the EMC / SCBI database (all of which are Wigmund) but only x2 for BMC 1. Interestingly, although those x2 EMC coins are poor grade coins, both have the PINC mint signature as opposed to the usual PIN mint signature seen on the other x4 EMC coins. 1.28 grams / 12h. Pierced in antiquity. The new Sovereign Rarity (old Spink) price guide rates this right facing bust type as the rarest of all the William Rufus types. Found Bristol. £1,545

ex Jon Mann ( a well respected numismatic researcher), sold January 2014
