A replica of Cnut of Northumbria (c. 900 - 905). This coin was found in an area of known Viking Age re-enactments and was examined by the FLO and Dr John Naylor, and was found to be a modern reproduction on the following grounds, Although the coin has inscriptions and obverse/reverse designs which are faithful to the originals, there are  problems when you examine the coin closely: the combination of obverse  (EC-1ii) and reverse (CR-G) type seen on this coin isn't seen in the Cuerdale hoard (which is a large sample) the letter forms are quite scruffy…

Lead alloy coin. A probably modern forgery of a late Iron Age coin whose details would appear to be drawn from the uninscribed gold coinages of the Corieltauvi. It does not resemble the silver units of that tribe. Some examples have been found with a coating of gold paint, perhaps here lost to erosion in a coastal find-spot. The distribution of these objects appears to be skewed towards sites frequented by metal detectorists, and these may represent the ‘salting’ of sites by rival collectors, whether in jest or malice. A ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area is suspected. …

Both sides of the coin are illegible, except for three letters on one side appearing to read [  ]EG F[  ] and a possible gently curving line to their left which may be the back of a left-facing bust. If so, the coin may be a 'bun head' farthing of Victoria (1837-1901) dating to 1860-95, although this is uncertain with the inscription VICTORIA D G BRITT REG FID (visible inscription highlighted).

A modern replica of a Hiberno-Norse penny produced using the obverse from the Hiberno-Norse coin copying Aethelred II's (AD 978-1016) long cross combined with the reverse copying his last small cross. The piece is possibly a replica made by a re-enactment group as the coin does not appear to have been made to deliberately deceive, the reverse including the fictitious inscription HROLF M-O WIRHALH.

A modern imitation of the coinage of the Crusader States, copying a helmet denier of Bohemond III (1149-63) struck at Antioch although the motif in the centre of the reverse appears to be based on the central star seen on the gros and half gros of Bohemond IV (1251-75) at Tripoli. Ref: for comparison see Künker 2008 nos 4088-90 and 4099-4100. The flan of the coin is very regular and does not appear to be made from silver (from images) and the style of the die-cutting is relatively crude, the lettering styles and shape of pellets inconsistent with the original coinage. It may be …
