A silver early medieval coin; a penny of Aethelred II (978 - 1016), First Hand type (979 - 985). The coin is damaged and parts are missing, and what survives is in two pieces. About half of the edge is missing, making the mint and moneyer difficult to identify. The coin is 18.8mm long, 15.7mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs 0.63g. For reference see North number 766, (Figure 1). Wendy Scott suggests that the mint could be Gloucester or Lewes based on the reverse legend probably reading LPE, which could be a blundered LEPE or even LÆPE.

An early-medieval silver Carolingian denier of Charles the Bald (AD 840-77) or later, monogram/METVLLO type dating from the AD 860s-c.925, mint: Melle, France.

A copper alloy hammered coin: probably an Early Medieval Northumbrian styca of Eanred or Aethelred II, dating from AD 810-848. The coin is mostly illegible, with the central motifs and one inscription no longer legible. The extant partial legend probably reads [---] ED R[...], very tentatively suggesting, if this is on the obverse, a regal issue of either Aethelred (EDILRED) II, AD 840-848, or of Eanred (AD 810-840). Mint of Northumbria. The coin has a sub-oval flan with a maximum diameter of 12.92mm, and a thickness of 1.00mm. It weighs 0.67g. Compare SWYOR-7D9846, and see the hoard…
