Wow some stunning coins,

Thanks rob, great info ;-) I was unable to edit my last post after your edit.

Hi rob, Thank you, I understand all that, but is this not a fact that tvt on this coin is a first Stephan coin to confirm this please ?, Regards Lee

Tutbury is a known mint for Stephen, though, as is seen with Spink reference 1297. So not the first known. Thanks clive, I am not sure what -- means in the spinks book tbh, but I can not see are find a tutbury mint Stephan coin anywhere, and the words from DR Allan is Ive also been in talks with spinks about the coin in question and and they have never disputed DR Allen on his verdict, Would you please tell me more, Regards Lee

Hi tom Dr Martin Allen, Fitzwilliam Museum, King Stephen Penny 1135-1154 Midland Group Obverse: X[ ][H?]ANV[s?], Crude head right crowned with sceptre Reverse: WALCAL[]TVT, Short Cross Voided with bird in each angle Moneyer: Walchelinus Mint: Tutbury Metal: Silver North 900 variant Nb: This is an extremely rare coin of King Stephen and minted at Tutbury. It is unique in that there are no other known examples of its type. I am reasonably confident that this is a coin of the Derby moneyer Walchelinus (spelt WALCAL[ ] on this coin) from Tutbury, providing the first clear evidence of a mint at Tutbury in the reign of Stephen.
