Add to album

This is the obverse of a Henry, Earl of Northumberland silver cut farthing minted at Edinburgh between 1136 and 1152, during the reign of David I. The coin was cut from a Henry penny and was worth a quarter of a penny Scots.

The obverse has a part of crown and hair from a bust. None of the lettering is legible.

David I's son, Henry, gained the Earldom of Northumberland in 1139 as the result of a treaty with the English King Stephen. Coins in his name were issued at Carlisle, Corbridge, and a third mint thought to have been at Bamborough.
