11th century AD. Obv: [ ]N[ ] legend with central cross with pellets in quarters. Rev: stylised lozengiform temple facade. Roberts 4833-4835.0.75 grams. ("). Property of a Middlesex gentleman; acquired on the UK art market. The device on the reverse of the coin is an extremely bastardized version of the 'Temple Façade' design used by William's great-grandfather, Richard the Fearless (reigned 943-996"). The coins William struck in Normandy do not often come onto the market, and when they do, they are notable for their poor condition; the one offered here is in comparatively good condition.
