EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reverse side of a penny from the reign of William I, also known as William the Conqueror. Crafted in silver during the 11th century, this exquisite piece of currency is now housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The image depicts a profile portrait of King William I wearing his regal crown. The fine details and intricate metalwork on this coin highlight the exceptional craftsmanship that was prevalent during this era. As one gazes upon it, they can't help but be transported back in time to an age when coins were not only used for transactions but also served as symbols of power and authority. It's fascinating to think about how this humble penny played a role in shaping history. Minted in Hastings under William's rule, it represents his conquest and establishment as Duke of Normandy. This small denomination carries with it a weighty significance that extends far beyond its monetary value. As we admire this remarkable artifact, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical importance. It serves as a tangible link to our past and reminds us of the enduring legacy left by great rulers like William I.
