The brooch is made of an Anglo-Saxon silver penny of the Sovereign type of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), issued in the late 1050s by the moneyer Ægelwerd of London. Although it is difficult to be certain given the secondary treatment, it appears to be struck from the same reverse dies (and possibly the same obverse dies) as an example in the British Museum collection, BMC ii, p. 412, no. 998. The coin has been gilded on the reverse and has been pierced three times so that brooch fittings could be secured to the obverse with rivets.
This is part of a growing body of similar fin…

This report concerns a gilt silver coin brooch found at Andover Down in Hampshire in 2008, by Martin Reed, while metal detecting with the landowner's consent. The find was found on cultivated land, 2-3 inches below the surface, and was promptly reported as potential Treasure. The brooch is made from a silver penny of Eadwig (king of all England 955-57, king of Wessex 957-9). The coin is a rare floral variety probably minted in the West Midlands, and must therefore come from the earlier part of Eadwig's reign, before his brother Eadmund became king of Mercia in 957.

Early medieval cast gilded silver object, possibly a cruciform brooch knob. The object is sub rectangular in form with a raised central humanoid face bordered by a projecting zoomorphic figure on one side. The reverse of the object is hollow, with intrigal cast rectangular backing plates that contain cast perforations at the top and the bottom; presumably to hold a pin to attach the knop to the main brooch. The perforation at the top is open ( c-shaped) and the perforation at the bottom is enclosed. The front of the object is decorated with a stylised human h…

An incomplete early medieval gilded silver openwork S-shaped brooch, now missing the pin mechanism on the reverse. The brooch is flat in cross-section and asymmetrical both in shape (roughly egg-shaped) and decoration. The 'S' is created by the sinuous body of a creature with a head at both ends.
The body of the 'S' has a wide central midrib flanked by a beaded rib to either side, within rib walls. Deep furrows separate all ribs. The midrib is wider to one end and has an additional shallow furrow within the curve at this point. The width of the brooch at this end is wi…
