William I?

[wileyc]

I have had this coin for a bit and orginally had it IDed as a William I, and distantly recall finding a reference. It however escapes me and I have not been able to relocate it?


any thoughts

I think so: Grierson/Travaini; Medieval European Coinage 14  nos. 286-289 from Messina
