Wow - this thread has gone crazy in the last 24 hours! Obviously a good topic. Here is another of my Saxon kings - Athelred II, known as the "Unready". This is actually a misunderstanding of the Saxon word "Unredy" which means "Unread" - he did not take the advice of his peers.

 

238-250 Western Satraps AR Drachm, Vijayasena

 

I'll see your Athelred II and raise you and Edward the Confessor:

1/2 Bazaruco, semi-anonymous issued under King Philip I-III

Present-Malaysia

 

This is from the Islamic Sultanate of Banten - Pangeran Ratou dated between 1546 to 1596. I suspect it is a modern fake.

 

It does look a bit suspect to me, unfortunately. The relief and striking looks very bold and well preserved which seems to be pretty uncommon from the region/era.
