A law of King Athelstan (924-939) declared a single coinage to be used throughout his realm and severe penalties for striking bad money;

We declare that there shall be one coinage throughout the King's dominions and that there shall be no minting except in a port. And if a minter be convicted of striking bad money, the hand with which he was guilty shall be cut off and set up on the mint smithy.

Howell the Good (Hywel Dda or Hywel ap Cadell in Welsh) came to an arrangement with King Athelstan of England whereby he minted his own coinage in the English city of Chester. He was the only Welsh ruler ever to produce coinage.
