Description: | A Medieval silver coin; a cut half penny of Stephen (1135 - 1154), mint and moneyer unknown. The coin is chipped. This coin has been recorded at the request of the finder from details provided on the Early Medieval Corpus of Coin Finds and has not been studied by the FLO. It is recorded as EMC number 2012.0105. The finder notes that it is a new type of Stephen coin and has provided these comments from Dr Martin Allen: "This is not a type published in any of the works of reference on the English coinage, but I am aware of a similar coin, possibly from the same obverse die, in an unpublished hoard found in archaeological excavations at Inish Cealtra in Ireland. This seems to be a new type for reign of Stephen, probably from a mint in the Midlands. The obverse inscription can be reconstructed from the two coins as WIL[E?}MVS[ ]. There many such examples of the posthumous use of the names of William (I or II) or Henry (I) on coins of this period."
