| Additional information |
The Tealby coinage takes its name from a hoard of roughly 5,000 pennies discovered in Tealby, Lincolnshire in 1807 — the largest find of Henry II silver to date. Class F sits near the end of this poorly-executed series, which had become so debased in workmanship by the early 1170s that Henry ordered a complete recoinage in 1180, replacing the entire Tealby issue with the far more competently produced Short Cross coinage. Dies for the Tealby series were cut with notorious inconsistency across some thirty moneyers operating at mints scattered from Canterbury to Carlisle.
