Found a cool Anglo-Saxon

    I've been patiently trying to collect Anglo-Saxon coins for over a year now. I like the small bronze stycas of the Northumbrian Kingdom - they're quite a challenge to ID. I got lucky enough to find a seller on ebay who periodically offers individual stycas in an uncleaned state and bought two.

    The first:
    Aethelred II, Eanred moneyer
    AE styca
    York - 840-844 AD
    cross in center
    +EĐILRED REX
    annulet in center
    +EANRED
    Spink 865

    The second, my best find:
    Redwulf, Cuthbert moneyer
    AE styca
    York - 844 AD
    cross in center
    +REDVLF REX
    cross in center
    +CVĐBEREhT
    Spink 867

    Unfortunately, there's no decent scanner where I am now. So scans will have to wait until January. But these aren't much to look at anyway. :D
