1247 HENRY III DOUBLE STRUCK PENNY

A fascinating example of medieval minting error, this 1247 Henry III penny displays a double strike — both obverse and reverse impressions struck twice during production. This rare occurrence makes it a compelling piece for numismatists and collectors of English coinage. The double strike is clearly visible across the coin's surface, documenting a moment from nearly 800 years of monetary history. Henry III reigned during a transformative period of English governance, and pennies like this were the backbone of medieval commerce. An exceptional addition to any collection of error coins or early English currency.
