My First Square Hammered!

[CRUSADER]

Continued on the Barley Stubble Field, started without Dad & he joined me after 1.5 hours, ended up doing 3 hours. It wasn't until we were about to move to another site, that I decided to switch gridding to a patch in the middle I had a feeling about. Glad I did because out popped my only hammered of the day & a Rare one by our standards. I think its a Henry II 'Telby' type but I can't see it in the book, will need more research. This is more like what I hoped for off the field Super happy with it

Also had a very nice Jetton of a type I need
Counterfiet Georgian Shilling
2 x 17th Century Tokens
1 Rose Farthing
Medieval Horse Harness Hanger (shame we didn't get the pendant)
A few Lead Tokens

Picture 7 was 1 hour on the recently discovered Roman Site in the storky Rape Crop. Got 1 nice Roman Coin all the way from Turkey (3 scrappies, 1 holed - could be more clues on Saxon activity)

That is very cool. They must have just cut sheets of silver into squares. If it's your first no question you gotta be happy with that. I assume it's gonna book pretty good too. If I wasn't so content in my chair right now drinking my coffee I'd have to grab my book to check em out.

I've had 2 cut halfs of Henry II (Telby type) but they would have looked round compared to this one. It is my first complete Henry II 'Telby' (although I'm still a little unsure, the bust is bothering me)
I have had a later issue shortcross of Henry II which was complete.They do book & sell well.

That's just laziness!!

I always jog once round the block at least, in between posting. Sometimes backwards

I actually did grab my book and am trying to sort out which one it is. (But I need to give myself a basic lesson before I can attempt it)

Yep that was about my lesson. I'm guessing with as many mints as there was producing these, some modifications to the king, never mind they tend to be weakly struck, I'm guessing many are limited to just a general ID.

Difficult to answer, other than the 6000 Henry II coins found at Telby (not sure how many of these were square), hence the name, these coins of Henry II are rarely found & when they are they are normally strangely shaped but not as square as this. Although there are a few recorded square types, it would be considered Rare. (not Very Rare or Extremely Rare)
