EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the silver pennies of William I, also known as William the Conqueror. Minted between 1028 and 1087, these coins were part of an astonishing hoard consisting of 600 silver pennies that were discovered in Jubbergate, York. The significance of this find lies not only in its monetary value but also in what it represents about the economy and financial landscape during that time. During the eleventh century, these silver pennies held immense purchasing power. In fact, with just one penny, you could acquire up to four sheep! This hoard alone would have been enough to buy a staggering 2000 sheep back then. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to an era where currency was tangible and represented real wealth. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship on each coin. It is a testament to the skillful artistry that went into their creation. These coins bear witness to William I's reign as King of England and Duke of Normandy - a pivotal period in British history.
