William I was England's first Norman king, earning the title and nickname of William the Conqueror after his success in the Battle of Hastings against King Harold in 1066. During the period of his reign, from 1066-1087, over eighty castles and keeps were constructed across the country to defend and enforce his rule, including the famed White Tower of London, which still maintains its imposing presence today. This silver Denier was hand struck at the Rouen Mint in Normandy, measuring approximately 18 mm in diameter.
