a odd request for sure, but I am searching for a King Stephen Silver Penny for a friend who does historical reenactment

I was hoping to find a reasonable priced piece since this will be a pocket piece.... if anyone has any thoughts most appreciated for a pm

Not an easy or inexpensive coin to find. Not usually your pocket piece type of coin.

These are thin coins that would not survive much time in a pocket.

Was the time of the first English civil war - lot of variety of coins, including a queen, but all quite rare and high priced. Most coins from that era are in the name of Henry I or Henry II.

Most of them are poorly struck, like this piece that is in a dealer's inventory: Stephen penny S-1278

Nothing quite says Anarchy like a poorly struck King Stephen penny. Yet another thing to add to the ever growing wish list. They are pricey though.

I just read the book by Ken Follett.

Now I want a "Bezant".

Thank you all for your suggestions and comments, that is what is so great about these boards....any suggestions for something that would work as a pocket piece from King Stephen (1135-1154) ?
