Penny - Henry I Double Inscription type

The Double Inscription type belongs to Henry I's long and administratively turbulent reign, during which English coinage was subject to chronic abuse by moneyers — clipping, debasement, and underweight striking were rampant enough that Henry ordered a brutal crackdown at Christmas 1124, known from chronicle sources as the "Assize of the Moneyers." Offending moneyers were mutilated en masse at Winchester. Whether this specific type precedes or postdates that event shapes how one interprets surviving examples.

North 867 is among the scarcer types of the reign, with a limited number of moneyers documented across a small handful of mints.
