Anglo-Saxon coin-brooch. The object is a silver penny of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), of the Hammer Cross type, c. AD 1060, which has been mounted as a brooch or badge.

The reverse of the coin, showing a cross, has been gilded for display, and five holes have been pierced in the coin, one in the centre and one at the end o…

Description: A fragment of a silver possible Anglo-Saxon brooch. This fragment has old breaks on all edges and is now roughly triangular in shape.

Discussion: This fragment is really too small to identify its original function but a brooch fragment, possibly from a square headed brooch does seem likely. The precious metal content of this possible brooch f…
