A silver penny of Eadmund, King of East Anglia, c.855-870 AD. As North, 1980: no. 456. This coin is likely to be a continuation of a previous hoard of five silver Eadmund pennies, which were recorded through the Treasure Act in 2004 (see 2004 T115, and on the PAS database as SF-077A54, SF-076841 and SF-D99E44), 2008 (see 2008 T138, and on the PAS database as SF-E1C3B5) and 2010 (see 2010 T720, and on the PAS database as SF-AAFFB2). As a likely continuation of a previous hoard this coin fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act.
This record is an administrative error duplicate of SF-D872A7. This issue will be resolved shortly.
