Ancient Coins: Coins of Medieval England (ft. The Hammered Corner)

Today we have a very special guest! I´ve partnered up with Luke from "The Hammered Corner" to bring some of his collection to our channel! Luke collects English coins and I highly recommend you check him out!:

Today we´re exploring the key coin denomination of England, the silver Penny, taking a quick look at its history, looking at some of the most well known examples and its multiples and fractions. Medieval numismatics can be a harder niche to get into, but its very unique art and style is really fascinating!

Was an absolute pleasure having my coins shared with your subscribers. Thank you for asking me to come on and the video turned out incredibly well 😃

When I subscribed, I was interested only in gold and silver coins as I am into "numistacking". Now, I cannot miss any of these great videos, regardless of the metal contents :) Thanks!

Fun fact: one penny in medieval England was worth a a day's labour.

Great program, with fantastic examples!

[TenBob]

Fascinating - I love a bit of history. Imagine who held that coin and why!

[stevebrinkman]

Very impressive video. In spite the fact that I've collected British coins in my early numismatic life, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.

Excellent video! Z is the shortening for latin ET ("and"), also in some coins in many countries (Germany, England, etc.) you find "9" as abbreviation of the latin masculine nominative ending (US, VS), for example: EDWARD9 (= EDWARDVS, for Edward VI).

Awesome video, as always! Can I request one on medieval deniers as well?

[artemisarrow]

Crazy to think maybe some of our ancestors at one point held those coins

[vikingspeaking]

I just have to ask, what's your accent?! For some reason I'm thinking Croatian... but so hard to tell! :D Super interesting videos btw, a pleasure to watch them!

Only Medieval coin I have in my collection so far is an AR Dirham, during the rein of Al-Walid I from the Umayyad Caliphate dated around 705-715AD.

I have a gem Anglo-Saxon Sceat from 695-740 and a gem Penny of King John (the father of Henry III featured in this video.)

[The inscriptions on Richard the Lionhearted’s and John’s Pennies were of their father Henry II and not their own names.]

Were freaking going medieval on your currency.
