A probably modern imitation lead alloy coin in the form of an Early Medieval silver coin. The piece appears to be inspired by a coin of Eadgar (959 - 975), Pre-reform two line type (959 - 973). It is very similar to North number 741, but the moneyer's name is 'NORB/ER' which is not one of the listed possibilities. The finder has had the piece tested using XRF and it is made of a high lead alloy. The crosses in the design seem thinner and cruder than the illustrated genuine coins. The piece is 22.63mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 3.9g.

A modern copy of an Early Medieval silver halfpenny of Edward the Elder (899-924), based upon Norrth 660 (floral penny) albeit seemingly intended to be a halfpenny version, of which no real examples are known. The style and flan of the coin are not consistent with an early-medieval piece- the flan is too smooth and the design/inscription too well defined and crisp. It may be an 'Ashmore copy' who produced a very similar fake penny of this type (T. Abramson 'Anglo-Saxon counterfeits', p.152). Obverse: Small cross pattee within a plain inner circle; inscription: EADVVEARD REX Rev…

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.
