Hammer Price:
£160

Henry II (1154-1189), Tealby coinage, Penny, class C, London, Swetman, speedman [—] lv, 1.33g/9h (SCBI Ashmolean 333, same rev. die; N 957; S 1339). Bent and with small edge crack, obverse fair to fine, reverse nearly very fine £80-£100

Note the unusual use of a lower case ‘b’ for the letter ‘wen’ in the moneyer’s name. This completes the uncertain reading on the Ashmolean specimen
