THE FIRST COI NAGE OF HENRY 11.
By NATHAN Hsvwoon.
IIp O N the death of King Stephen, which occur red at
(j; ,,: , Canterbury on th e 25th day of October, I 154, for the firsttim e since th e Conquest a King ascended the throne ofEngland without opp osition. By th e tre aty of W allingford,
the success ion of th e crown had been se ttled in favour of H enryPlantagenet, Duke of Normandy, the g randso n of H enry 1.
Ac cording to th e monastic historian , Roger of Wendover,
When Henry heard of Stephen's death, he ca me to Barbefleure,whe re he wa ite d one mon th for a favourabl e wind to cross theChannel. Mean while th ere was such grea t t ra nquility in E ngland,as rarely hap pens when its kin gs . die, for th e love an d fear whichthe people felt for Duke H enry, their future Sov ereign. On th e7th of D ecember he landed in E ng land, and was received with muchjoy, both by the clergy and th e lai ty, and on the roth of December,being th e Sunday next before Christ mas D ay, he was sa luted kingwith uni versal acclam ati on , and crowned at Westminster by TheobaldA rchbishop of Cante rbury, in th e presence of th e A rchbishops, Bishops,and Ba rons of both E ng land and Normandy . As soon as he wasmad e King, he began to resume possess ion of th e cit ies, cast les, an dtowns which be longed to th e Crown, to des t roy th e rebellious cas tles,to expel th e forei gn ers, and principally Fl em ings, from th e kingd omand to dep ose ' the pseudo-earls, on who m Stephen had lavishlybestowed almos t all the proceeds of his exchequer.-Dr. Giles.
Although H enry on this occasion remained exactly twelve months111 E ngland, he was probably too much engaged in settling the political

affairs of th e country to turn his attention to such matter s ofconstitutional detail as the curre ncy, and early in January, I 156, hesai led for Norma ndy and stayed abroad until April, 1157. Duringth e whole of thi s period it would appear certa in that Stephen' s moneyremained curre nt in E ng land, for Roger de H oved en tells us th at itwas not until H en ry's return (although he erroneo us ly g ives thi s to theyear I 156) that " he issued a new coinage wh ich was th e only onereceived and curre nt throughout th e realm. " T hat it was his firstcoinage is clear, becaus e in I 180 his g reat recoinage was described assecunda moneta .
Nevertheless, th er e is s OI~1e little un certainty 'as to the exact dat ewhe n his first coinage was ac tually issued, for although I I 56 has beenusually acce pted as the dat e, Roger of Wendover and Matthew ofWestminster record th e fact unde r th e year I I SS. A lso John deT axter , although confusing it with th e second coinage of I I So, refer sto th e dat e of coinage as I 158. The weight of ev ide nce, therefore, isin favour of the latter year, although it is rem arkable tha t H enry shouldhave allowed his predecessor 's money to remain curre nt and un changedfor more than three years afte r his accession. But as to th e durationof th e issue of his coinage th ere is no do ubt, for nearl y all authoritiesagree that it remain ed cur rent until th e year 1 180.
Although it had thus a period of issue of ab out twenty-two years,we have the records of only five discoveries of it in modern times .Fortuna tely one of th ese, nam ely, at T ealby in Li ncolnshire, containedfive thousand seven hundr ed specimens, an d th erefore, although th eg reater portion of th e hoard was remelt ed int o bullion, the moneyis by no means scarce 111 our cabine ts . The type is asfollows :-
Obverse.-King's bust crowned , with a do ub le row of pearls surmountedby th ree fleurs de Iys, and ma nt led . Front faced or slig htlyinclined to the left. Sceptre to left, terminat ing in a crosspa t tee, sloping over the King's righ t shoulder and held inhis right hand. No in ner circle.
Reverse.-W ithin an inn er circle, a large cross, sometimes a small starof four rays saltire-wise in th e cen tre. I n each ang le a sma lIcross pa ttee po inting to the centre.

There cannot be any doubt that th ese coins represent th e firstcoinage of H enry I I., for it was dis covered by Sir H enry Ellis,
That whe reas the names of th e moneyers on coin s of thi s typestruck at Wilton are ASCHETIL, LANTIER, and WILL EM . There is arecord [call ed the Chancellor's Roll] in the British Mu seum of th eeleventh year of Henry IL , in which th e two form er, who se names are "both very unc ommon, and occur as of this town on no other type, arementioned as moneyers at Wilton.'
The hoard found at T ealby, as previously mentioned, numberedfive th ousand seven hundred specim ens , all of one type, a nd wasexamined by the lat e Dr. T aylor Combe. H e communicated a paperupon the subject, which was read before th e F ellows of th e So ciety ofA ntiqua ries on the 24th of F ebruary, I8I4, and in it, referring to th ewhole find, he stated :-
The coins were as fresh as when th ey wer e first issued from th emin t, yet th eir execution was so bad that on many of them sca rcelytwo letters could be discerned . The workmanship of th ese coin s can,ind eed, confer no credit on th e sta te of the ar ts in th e tim e of HenryII .; yet it is deserving of attention, th at the weights of th em, th ou ghappa ren tly regul ated by a pair of shears, were adjusted withe xt raord inary acc uracy.

The following is th e an alysis 'of Dr. T aylor Combe'sprecis e tests of the weights of th e coins in this hoard :-

They sho uld have weigh ed 19 lb. 6 oz. 19 dwt. 18 g rains. T hedifference is 14 dwt. 18 gr., which, divided a mongs t th e wholenumber, makes eac h coin to have weighed nearly within lID of agra in of its proper weigh t.
The T ealby coins were handed over to the Crown as treasuretrove, and, aft er a n ex amina tion, during which selections were madefor the British Mu seum a nd for a few favoured individuals, theremaining five thousand one hundred and twenty-seven spec imens, thetotal g iven ab ove, wer e melt ed at the T ower of London.
The law of tr easure tr ove has never been app reciated by thep ublic, who have always considered that unclaim ed property sho uldbelong to th e find er as agains t all the world, save the tr ue owner.

Such, however, is not th e case, th e ownership of hidden tr easure beingvested in th e Crown.'
H ad th e T ealby find passed into privat e hands, probably overfive thousand coins, perfect as when th ey left th e mint, would havebeen preserved for our inspection.
O f th e Ro yston and Bramham Moor finds little reliable informationhas been preserved. But the hoard found at Ampthill numbered onehundred and forty-two specimens, of which, however, only forty-eightwere leg ible. All the coins were, again, of one typ e, and were examinedby the late Archdeacon Pownall, who communicated particulars of thefind in a paper read before the members of th e Numismatic Society ofLondon on th e t 5th of May, 1 862 . In reference to th e irregularshape of th e money, he sta ted :
T her e are not mo re than tw elve of th e one hu ndred and forty-two[coins] be fore me which ca n with justi ce be described as round; ofsix ty-seven mo re, it might be said they are cert ain ly not rou nd ;thi rty-six of the rem ainder approach more nearly still to a rude sq ua re,or five and six -sided figu re[s] ; and four are positively qua drangula r.
In reference to th e analysis the same gentleman remarks:
I foun d the whole num ber, bein g one hundred and forty-t wocoins, weighed 6 oz. IQ dwts, st grains; a nd that, taken in lot s oftwenty-five at a t ime , the sum was thus made up:
First lot weighed 23 dw ts . ot g rai n.Second lot weighed 23 dwts.T hird lot weighed 2 2 dw ts, 20 g ra ins .F ourth lot weighed 22 dwts . 2 0 g ra ins.F ifth lot weighed 23 dw ts, t g rain.S ix th lot (seventeen coins) IS dwts, I 5~ g ra ins.T he mean weight of eac h co in will therefore be a fraction over
22 grains, and the loss in weight on each so me th ing less th an half ag rain, a fact which th e eviden ce of the eye will a lm ost susta in.
The A wbridge find, as described by If r. Grueber, was discovered ayear or two ago, and is said to hav e originally consisted of abo ut onehundred and eighty coins. O f th ese one hundred and thirty- eight weresent to the British Museum, where fifty eight were selected for th e

N atio rial Collect ion. The remaining eighty were subse quently purchasedby Messrs. Spink & Son. O f th e one hundred and thirty-eight coinsexamined at the British Museum thirty-four were of th e reign ofKing Stephen. Of th ese thirty-one were of his last typ e (Hks. 268).The remaining one hundred and four coins were of the coina ge nowund er considerati on.
I t may prove interesting to kn ow th e value of the coins of theN orman period ; that is what th ey would purchase when they wereissued. The pric e of wheat, of course, vari ed with the seasons, therebeing no importing of corn in tho se days. The country was entirelydependent on its own resources, and, owing to the difficult communicati on between the different parts of the kingdom, corn varied greatlyin price. Thus in A. D. 1043 whe at was sold at five shillings th equarter, whilst in A.D. I 125, owing to a scarcity, it realized twentyshillings the quarter. About A.D. I [4S forty sheep were valued attwenty shillings; an ox a t three shillings ; and four hens sold for
. twopence; a ram being of th e va lue of eightpence. If we consid er anox to-day wor th £20, and th at it was worth three shillings in A.D. 1145,we must necessarily conclude that th e purchasing power of a silverpenn y at that time was equiva lent in value to eleve n or twelve shillingsof our current money.
The following is a list of the moneyers' names and places ofmintage of th e first coinage of H enry 11. Colons , which sometimesoccur at th e ends of th e legends, and othe r minor details, are omitted,as to g ive all vari ati ons would treble th e length of the list withoutserving any useful purpose. The letter ing is reproduced as closely ascircumstances will admit, but it must be rememb ered that man y of th elegends are taken from records of th e finds in which ordinary typehas been used, and th erefore the distinctions between c and r; (;> andn, M and m, S and ~ and wand P, &c., cannot always be drawn.
