William I struck coins in the Anglo-Saxon fashion. These would be used in circulation across the kingdom, for payment of goods and taxes, making it clear to all across the realm that he had ultimate authority to rule. This coin, recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme (KENT-D697ED), was minted by the moneyer Eadred at Hythe, Kent.
