Thanks again clive, Is the pellet on his chin normal for this type of coin please.

Many thanks clive rob, would this coin come with a certain class of D please,

Thanks rob, but after doing lots of research on this it was not set in stone by the mint mark it was a maybe my coin is the only clear evidence of a Stephan coin minted at tutbury and the only one recorded :-).

Lol coinery, i love hammered coins and willing and trying to learn about them, i find a fair few of hammered coins each year and they all fascinate me in any condition, this is a special find for me and i want to know everything about it, maybe one day i will know what i am talking about but i have a long long way to go :-(. @ rob thank you yes that's what i meant maybe two ?

Hi rob, thanks for the information, I would love to see a picture of it if you do find it please, also on my coin they appears to be a crescent moon on the obverse above his head, or am i seeing things thanks for any information.

Wow some stunning coins,

Thanks rob, great info ;-) I was unable to edit my last post after your edit.

Hi rob, Thank you, I understand all that, but is this not a fact that tvt on this coin is a first Stephan coin to confirm this please ?, Regards Lee

Tutbury is a known mint for Stephen, though, as is seen with Spink reference 1297. So not the first known. Thanks clive, I am not sure what -- means in the spinks book tbh, but I can not see are find a tutbury mint Stephan coin anywhere, and the words from DR Allan is Ive also been in talks with spinks about the coin in question and and they have never disputed DR Allen on his verdict, Would you please tell me more, Regards Lee

Hi peter, yes it was a detecting find found by myself, EMC 2013.0332.What do you intend on doing with it? After a lot of thought i will be selling the coin.

Hi tom Dr Martin Allen, Fitzwilliam Museum, King Stephen Penny 1135-1154 Midland Group Obverse: X[ ][H?]ANV[s?], Crude head right crowned with sceptre Reverse: WALCAL[]TVT, Short Cross Voided with bird in each angle Moneyer: Walchelinus Mint: Tutbury Metal: Silver North 900 variant Nb: This is an extremely rare coin of King Stephen and minted at Tutbury. It is unique in that there are no other known examples of its type. I am reasonably confident that this is a coin of the Derby moneyer Walchelinus (spelt WALCAL[ ] on this coin) from Tutbury, providing the first clear evidence of a mint at Tutbury in the reign of Stephen.
