- GREAT BRITAIN. Penny, ND (1066-68). Romney Mint; Wulfmær, moneyer. William I 'the Conqueror'. PCGS AU-53. S-1250; N-839. Profile/Cross Fleuree (BMC i) type. Obverse: + ILLEMV REX I, crowned and armored bust left; scepter to left; Reverse: + PIILFMÆR ON RII, cross fleuree, with pellet-in-annulet at center. Deep gray in color and only lightly handled upon the higher points, this elegant specimen stands as an excellent survivor from the first of the Norman kings. His name has passed into lore as the Conqueror, William was the first Norman ruler of England. After his victory at the Battle of Hastings securing rule over the Anglo-Saxons, much of his reign was spent pacifying English uprisings against him. He never fully finished the task of making England his, but he was able to crush all uprisings against him. A competent military leader, but less interested in governance, William was often away from England on the Continent, and he died in France in 1087. Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000.
