Comment
Kings of All England, Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) Pacx type variety, London mint; Wulfgar, moneyer; BMC VInteresting fact
The Penny coin , which was issued during the reign of King Edward (Pacx type) between 1042-1044, was made of silver and weighed 0.91 grams. This is interesting because it was during a time when the standard coinage of England was transitioning from silver to copper, and this coin represents one of the last silver pennies issued before the changeover.
