Title
Early medieval coin; Viking imitation penny of Alfred
Description
English: An early medieval silver coin; a Viking imitation penny of Alfred two line type dating from the 9th century AD. The moneyer does not seem to be one who has already been recorded on the Corpus of Early Medieval Coins. At some time this coin has been folded in half and displays a crease across the centre of the flan. Slight copper staining may indicate that it was folded round a copper object. It is 19.1mm in diameter and 0.8mm thick. It weighs 1.24gm. The coin is very similar to SF-8621A2 on the PAS database, and number 1002.0573 on the Corpus of Early Medieval Coins.
