County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete, corroded coin of copper-alloy, probably an early-medieval Northumbrian styca of an unncertain king, dating c.790-860. The level of copper in the coin suggests it is a later variety, c.830-60. Both obverse and reverse are highly corroded and it is difficult to confidently see the design or the inscriptions (which are rendered illegible). The 'obverse' appears to show a pierced plain cross above another motif in the centre, perhaps a cross-like star of 8 arms (cf. Pirie 1996, Fig 7, no 7) with seven pellets of the outer circle visible at at the top of the coin. The 'r…
