Great Britain. Norman Kings of England. AR Penny, ND (Castle Rising mint, struck c. 1145-1150, the Civil War). North-878; S-1280. 1.33 grams. Stephen, 1135-1154 AD. Voided Cross & Mullets type.

Reverse: Central circle, within a cross voided, three pellets terminating each arm, and with a mullet in each angle; +ROD[B]VRT : ON : RIS around.

The Castle Rising mint was located inside the walls of the castle of that name, still standing and located just northeast of present-day King's Lynn, near "The Wash" -- an extremely rare and exotic mint!
