An Anglo-Saxon gold shilling of the 'York' group, type C. The coin is one of 19 known examples of the 'York' group of Gold Shillings. These were struck in the first half of the seventh century, the first coinage ever made in the town of York. Until recently their attribution to a mint in York was uncertain but recent finds, which show a clear Yorkshire focus, have made this attribution very likely. This find from near York would further strengthen this pattern. It would also be the first coin found so close to the mint since the 1840s discoveries of several shillings in the centre …
