Although Harold reigned only nine months before his death at the battle
of Hastings, there are several varieties of his coins known. They have
the bust on the _obverse_, with the name HAROLD REX ANG, or ANGL; and
on the reverse the word PAX across the field within the inner circle,
and the moneyers’ and mintage town names. The names of known towns
are Hastings, Bedford, Bristol, Canterbury, Chichester, Colchester,
Cricklade, Derby, Dover, York, Exeter, Ilchester, Guildford, Ipswich,
Gloucester, Cambridge, Hereford, Southampton, Huntingdon, Lewes,
Leicester, Chester, Lincoln, London, Maldon, Norwich, Oxford,
Rochester, Romney, Shaftesbury, Nottingham, Shrewsbury, Stamford,
Steyning, Southwark, Taunton, Thetford, Warwick, Wallingford, Wareham,
Winchester, Worcester, and Wilton; and the variety in the names of
moneyers numbers over a hundred.
