Description: | A complete early Medieval Norman silver penny of Stephen (AD 1135-1154). 'Watford Type', c. 1136-1145. Obverse depicts crowned bust facing right holding sceptre left; obverse legend reads: STIEFN(E) R[EX]. Reverse depicts long cross pattee with fleur in each quadrant and all inside quattrefoil; reverse legend: [G]ODPINE.ON.[...]. Slightly double-struck on reverse. There is a Godwine at Chichester, Lincoln, Norwich, however no Godpine is listed as moneyer for this type. It is possible, therefore, that this is a misspelling of the name Godwine or less likely that this is a new moneyer.Cf. North 1991 Vol II, Plate 16, Nos. 38-40 and Plate 17 Nos. 1-2 'Watford type'; also BMCi, No. 827.
