Title
622 BERK-99E238: Fragment of Saxon cut halfpenny
Description
English: A silver fragment of a Saxon cut halfpenny, one edge of which has been cut, the other edge has been fractured. The coin may be of Aethelred II (AD 978-1016), a variety of the last small cross type (AD 1009-1017) with a pellet on the reverse (see North 1994:160). North Type 778 notes that the bust reaches the edge of the coin, as it does on this example, while Type 780/1 (also London mint) notes that pellets can be found on the reverse of these coins (ibid.). The partial legend on the obverse suggests that the moneyer is someone like Leofwine or Leofwig, both of whom also struck at the London mint.
