Most medieval coins had highly stylized portraits of kings, nearly all of whom looked very much alike. A couple of coins, like some of King Harold II, were more real looking, but these were exceptional.
Many medieval coins had only words on them. Many had crosses as their only device. Some coins of the Danelaw had Viking swords or hammers.
One coin had the likeness of a Queen Cynethryth, the wife of King Offa of Mercia, who is said to have been the only Anglo-Saxon woman to appear on a coin, though the name looks Welsh to me.
There was a coin that had King Stephen with Queen Matilda, but I am not sure whether this was Queen Matilda of Boulogne, his wife, or Empress Matilda, against whom he had fought a war and whose son was his heir.
These are British Coins. The continental coins were similar.

How do you make coins mint?
To make a coin, you take 2 pieces of hard metal (usually steel) and engrave a reverse image of what you want the coin to look like on these pieces of metal. This is called the die. You then put the metal between the 2 dies and apply pressure to strike the coin. Ancient and medieval coins used a hammer to strike the coin (often multiple strikes were required) but modern methods use machines to strike the coin and usually only one strike is required except in high-relief and proof coins.
