Out of curiosity - what is the oldest hammered coin that members of DW have found?

I know that technically Staters, Denarii and Stycas are "hammered coinage", but you lot know what I mean! Grin

Mine is a hammered penny of Henry 1st (1100-1135) found last year on a SCAN Club rally in the glorious VOG and ID'd by Phil. Its a bit of a dog eared one, but I'll take it.
