A penny of Eadgar, AD959-975 (EMC 2014.0296); parts of the circumference are missing in two areas. The obverse has been gilded.

The coin is of a previously unrecorded type. In view of the missing portions the best guess is that the obverse would originally have read EA / DG / AR / REX (in a design reminiscent of the Luda penny of Alfred); it would fit in with other revival…

'A fragment from a medieval brooch. The flat surface (reverse) is inscribed with: + A + This most probably comprises part of a full inscription which would have read A G L A and would have been arranged at equal distances around the frame of the brooch. The full inscription signifies Atha Gebri Lielan Adonai ('thou art mighty forever, O Lord) and was a popular charm against fever in the medieval period. The brooch fragment is silver-gilt and dates from the thirteenth century.' James Robinson, Dept of Prehistory and Europe, British Museum
