Coin (Reverse), penny, of Henry, Earl of NorthumberlandThis is the reverse of a silver penny minted at Corbridge in Northumberland, between 1136 and 1152, during the reign of David I. The coin was worth one penny Scots. The reverse has a cross moline with a fleur-de-lys in each angle. 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. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
