Footnote
Sold with old Baldwin’s envelope. Minted mere miles away from where William triumphed over Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, beginning almost a century of Norman rule. With the return of the Bayeux Tapestry to England and the resulting renewed interest in the Norman Conquest, this coin, off the market for decades, presents the collector with a chance to own a part of this decisive chapter in British history.
