Obverse:

HNRI REX N. Crowned, facing bust with annulets by neck.

 

Reverse:

PINEDI ON CNTL. Cross fleury with annulet centre; in each angle, three pellets on a pile which rests on the inner circle.

 

Flan slightly dished otherwise very fine and exceptionally rare, this coin being the second known example of this moneyer for the annulets type at Canterbury. There are also only three examples of this type at Canterbury on EMC/SCBI, none being of this moneyer.

 

Winedi/Winedæg was not know to Allen for the annulets type at Canterbury when his article 'The mints and moneyers of England and Wales 1066–1158' was published in the British Numismatic Journal. A single example came to light from the Lord Stewartby collection, which filled the gap - Spink Auction, 22 Mar 2016 - Lot 339 (different dies). This moneyer has now been added to the addendum article published in M. Allen. 2022 'Interpreting Early Medieval Coinage. Essays in Memory of Stewart Lyon' British Numismatic Society Special Publication No. 15, Spink. Page 186.
