Object type: COIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Anglo-Saxon Sceat, possibly North 134 BMC 36, series J (around AD 710-750 according to North). Sceatta were small silver coins produced across England, Frisia and the Jutland Peninsula in the early medieval period. They have a wide number of variations and are mostly classified into series of similar designs. The issuing authority is almost never recorded in a legend.
This particular example is missing much of its edge, but enough of the obverse and reverse design survives to offer a tentative identification.
