Description: | A worn, clipped and misstruck silver medieval penny of Stephen (r.AD1135-1154) of uncertain mint and moneyer, minted c.AD1154-1158. "Awbridge" type, North 881. This coin is substantially clipped, worn and was struck off centre, thus there is blank parts of coin planchet below left of the bust and a comparable section on the reverse. The coin, including the bust is quite crude and where visible the lettering is oft misaligned or unclear, e.g S of Stephen which is almost on its side. The obverse legend also appears to be misspelled from the substantive types. the reverse depicts Short voided long cross, with bird in each angle surrounded by double beaded border, with substantial pellet below each bird. This reverse is seen on coins minted at Derby but this coin's reverse legends does not seem to relate to either the Derby mint or the Derby moneyer to whom the bird in quarter type are related (North type 900)Measurements: 19.64mm in diameter, 0.95mm thick and 1.35g in weight.
