Hammered Norman Coins of William I, William II (William Rufus), Henry I and Stephen For Sale.

The Norman hammered coins of England begin in 1066 with those of William I after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. Considering the turmoil existing after the Norman invasion the hammered coinage of William the Conqueror is of good quality. The coins of William I have the obverse inscription ᚹILLELM the first letter being the Anglo-Saxon Wen for letter W. There 8 types of silver pennies of William I, see my Guide to Norman Pennies. William I died in 1087. 

William II was the third son of William the Conqueror. He was killed during a hunting trip in England in August 1100.  There are 5 main types of coins of William Rufus, all scarce and difficult to find in good condition.

Henry I (1100-1135). Henry was the fourth son of William the Conqueror. There are 15 types of coins of Henry I, often poorly struck and all are difficult to find in good condition.
