Description: | A complete silver Stephen penny identified by Martin Allen of the Fitzwilliam who says;
This coin is an exceptionally interesting find, G Alliss and P.J. Seaby, 'King Stephen's mint of 'Eie', Seaby Coin and Medal Bulletin 791-2 (July/August 1984), pp. 182-4, discuss four Stephen
type 1 pennies of 'EI' and a fragmentary type 6 penny of 'EIE', suggesting that they are coins of a mint in Eye, which was the caput of the honor of Eye, granted to Count William of Boulogne by his father King Stephen. The findspot of this new coin, supports this theory. It is the first type 1 penny of the mint with the reading EIE. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
