Coin (Reverse), cut halfpenny, of Henry, Earl of Northumberland
This is the reverse of a Henry, Earl of Northumberland silver cut halfpenny minted at Corbridge in Northumberland, between 1136 and 1139. The coin was cut from a Henry penny and was worth one halfpenny Scots.
The reverse has a cross moline, with a fleur-de-lys in the angles. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Erebald (the moneyer) at Corbridge.'
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.
