Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small cast lead weight containing a copper-alloy Styca, of Aethelred II, (c.840-858AD). The reverse of the coin reads EDILRED REX, placing it in Pirie's Phase C which can be either first or second reign. Due to the good condition of the coin it is likely that it was not very old when pressed into the lead. It probably dates from the mid-late 9th century. Similar examples of coins embedded in weights on the database are LIN-3DFD27 YORYM-8054B2. Similar examples can be found on p19, Biggs and Withers, (2000).
