Penny - Henry I Double Inscription type

正面描述	Crowned facing bust of King Henry I turned slightly to the left, rendered in the bold, stylised manner characteristic of Anglo-Norman hammered coinage. The king holds a sceptre in his right hand, its shaft rising vertically beside his head. Two quatrefoil ornaments appear in the left field before the face. The royal legend is inscribed in two lines flanking the effigy, giving the type its name of Double Inscription. The portrait displays the heavily draped shoulders and angular facial features typical of early twelfth-century English die-cutting.

附加信息	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.
