One of four fake coins from the R. P. Mack collection:
Maker(s)
Mint:
Winchester
Ruler:
William I (1066-87)
The coin has been mounted with a hinged pin (partly surviving) and catch-plate arranged to display the ornate cross motif of the Rev, which has been gilded. The gilding appears to extend over the head of one of the rivets, indicating that the coin was gilded after the brooch was made. The adaptation of coins in this way is a feature of the later 11th and early 12th century.
