Title
Early Medieval coin; a penny of Eadgar
Description
English: An Early Medieval silver coin; a penny of Eadgar (959 - 975), reform coinage (973 - 975). The coin is severely damaged with all the outer edge of the flan missing except for one letter of the legend. It is currently 16.1mm across, but would have had a diameter of about 18mm. It weighs 0.77g. Apart from the damage, the coin is hardly worn and is in very good condition. There is a small raised mark next to the cross pattee on the reverse which may be the result of a flawed die. These coins were minted at a large number of mints. Normally the moneyer and mint would be recorded on the reverse legend, but because of the condition of this coin it is impossible to identify them. For reference see North (Volume 1) number 752.
