Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a silver penny of Æthelred II (978-1016), probably of 'Last Small Cross' type (North 777), minted by Eatstan at Exeter. It appears to be a reverse die link with a coin in the Copenhagen collections (SCBI 7 no.171; EMC 1007.1071). The remains of an iron strip are attached to the obverse and the reverse is gilded, demonstrating that this coin was once modified to create an artefact, most likely a brooch but possibly a mount, with the reverse of the coin as the front face of the object.
Obverse: [ ]RÆD REX A[ ]
Reverse: EATSTA[ ]EC
Date: Coin c.1009-17.
