An incomplete silver Anglo-Saxon penny of the anonymous Temple type of East Anglia, c.870-880 AD. It is missing parts of the outer edge of the coin, with one very small detached fragment, due to old breaks. Dr. Martin Allen (Fitzwilliam Museum) notes that it belongs to a group of coins published by Mark Blackburn (BNJ 75, 2005: p. 38), one of which is from the same dies as the current example (Blackburn's An2).
