Gold, Henry III, England,1 Penny, 1257

Gold, Henry III, England,1 Penny, 1257-only 8 remain.

See Text for obverse and reverse. Until Henrys time the little need there was for coins of greater value than a penny, then made of silver, was met by Byzantine or Arab gold coins, just as in early America the need for gold dollars was often met by Spanish pieces of eight.

Text, reverse and obverse alternate every 20 seconds.
