Fragmentary contemporary copy of an East Anglian thrymsa plated in very pale gold, a Trophy type, obverse bust left, star and annulets in front, reverse a trophy derivative. A base coin can be seen on the broken edge. Importantly, this coin is an obverse die duplicate to an example from Billockby, Norfolk (Marsden 2016, 58, no. 20); the reverse is from a disfferent die. The fact that this example is plated strongly suggests that the Billockby example might also, in fact, be a plated copy. The Billockby coin has a Runic inscription on the obverse - none of this coin's reverse legend ca…

Coins of this type cannot be firmly attributed to a particular Anglo-Saxon kingdom as, although they have in the past been attributed to the kingdom of Kent, distribution of finds could also support an East Anglian origin
