Title
English: Saxon Coins
Description
English: A silver penny of Edward the Elder (1), one of the Saxon coins decorating the margin of Moll's map of Norfolk, sold separately and as Map 22 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales..., copied from Figure 34 of Tabula II Nummi Saxonici on Page 139 of Obadiah Walker's "Notes on the Saxon Coins" appended to the English translation of William Camden's Britannica.


Notes:
Legend: + EADVYEARD REX [Eaduueard Rex, King Edward]
Walker misidentified it as a coin of Edward the Martyr, stating "34. The thirty-fourth is of Eadward, son of King Edgar, by Ethelfleda the Fair, (called also Eneda) daughter of Duke Ordmear. He is much commended for a virtuous, well-disposed, and hopeful prince; and such the small remainders of his history do truly represent him. But, by order of his stepmother Alfritha, to whom he was too obedient, he was murdered, to empty the throne for her son Ethelred. Edward was accounted a saint and martyr, because of the many miracles said to be done at his tomb; which occasioned the removal of his body from Wareham to a more honourable place, (Shaftesbury:) and the murderess, repenting of that wicked action, spent the rest of her days in grief and severe penances. Who that Heremod on the reverse was, we know not."

London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.
