A silver penny of Edward the Confessor, Expanding Cross (heavy coinage) type of the moneyer Beorhtsige, c.1050-1053 AD. The coin has been modified with the addition of gilding on the reverse and damage at the centre of the obverse flan, probably indicating re-use as a coin brooch or similar object. This coin was found in c.1982 and therefore does not qualify as treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act. As North, 1975: no. 823, Dr. M. Allen (Fitzwilliam Museum, pers. comm.) notes that this coin is from the same reverse dies as SCBI 6 no. 686.
