A gold thrymsa, Crondall phase issue, known as the 'witmen monita' type. The coin belongs to (what seems to be) a later phase of their issue on a smaller flan (c.11.5-12mm) but the same weight (c.1.3g). The reverse legend is a much blundered version of 'WITMEN MONITA'. cf. Crondall Hoard nos. 69-79, especially no. 79 (Metcalf 1993, Thrymsas and Sceattas, pl. I no. 11), and also another in Sutherland's Anglo-Saxon Gold Coinage in the Biblioteque Nationale (Sutherland Pl. IV no. 12). Early to mid 7th century, c. 600-675 AD.

A gold Anglo-Saxon thrymsa dating c.655 - c.675. The obverse shows a bust right with two symbols in front of the face. The upper symbol appears to be a cross with a line across the base, the lower a large 'Z' reversed. It would seem that the coin was edged on the obverse by a ring of closely set pellets, however more than half of these are missing which is suggestive that the edges of the coin might have been clipped. The body/shoulders of the bust are adorned with clothing or armour shown by the presence of closely set pellets. The bust is shown wearing a tightly fitting hat o…
