William II (1087-1100), Penny, 1.37g, Voided cross type, Lincoln, Wulfnoth?, crowned facing bust, star each side of neck, rev. +pv[lfn?]oÐ on lin, cross annulettée over voided short cross (N.853; S.1260), large flat areas, the centres better, especially so on reverse, struck on a good sized flan, toned, a tough coin to grade but overall probably nearly very fine and Wulfnoth possibly a new moneyer for the type at Lincoln

provenance:
Bt. Spink, 18 January 1974 (with old Spink envelope with King Street address)

Attributing the moneyer on this piece is problematic. The legend begins with a P, possibly followed by a V, and certainly ends OÐ. With the space available WVLFNOÐ seems most likely though this moneyer is not recorded at Lincoln in this type. A moneyer Aelfnoth is recorded in the Voided cross type but the legend clearly does not support this attribution.
