A silver Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) penny of Ecgberht king of Wessex (AD 802-839), non portrait type, possibly dating to c. AD 828-839. West Saxon mint; Ecgraed moneyer. Cf North 589. Dr Martin Allen comments: "This is the second known coin of the West Saxon mint in the coinage of Ecgberht by the moneyer 'ECGREBÐ' (normalised as Ecgraed). This is from different but similar dies to the one coin of this type (W7) in Rory Naismith's book The Coinage of Southern England 796-865". EMC 2019.0210
