<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8633707, member: 75482&quot;]For the most part, answers to your questions can be found in North&#039;s &#039;Mint Towns&#039; section and Bibliography. The coins are the primary source, of course. Those North did not see in hand he surely saw in print. Towns (more so than moneyers) are also known from a variety of historical sources. The Roman name for York was Eboracum. Under the Saxons, it morphed into &quot;Eforwic&quot; (Vol. 1, p. 246), abbreviated &quot;Eofor&quot; on your coin. North mentions a &quot;Stircol&quot; coining at York for Edward the Confessor on p. 186. A coin at CNG equates the signature STIRCOL with the Old Norse name &quot;Styrkollr&quot;. It&#039;s all much more complex than plugging modern pennies into a coin board... but that&#039;s the fun of it! Wonderful coin, btw. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://cngcoins.com/Lot.aspx?LOT_ID=63091&amp;BACK_URL=%2fLots.aspx%3fIS_ADVANCED%3d1%26ITEM_IS_SOLD%3d1%26ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER%3d%26CONTAINER_NAME%3d%26ITEM_LOT_NUMBER%3d%26ITEM_DESC%3dStircol%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4%3d1%26VIEW_TYPE%3d0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Lot.aspx?LOT_ID=63091&amp;BACK_URL=%2fLots.aspx%3fIS_ADVANCED%3d1%26ITEM_IS_SOLD%3d1%26ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER%3d%26CONTAINER_NAME%3d%26ITEM_LOT_NUMBER%3d%26ITEM_DESC%3dStircol%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2%3d1%26SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4%3d1%26VIEW_TYPE%3d0" rel="nofollow">https://cngcoins.com/Lot.aspx?LOT_ID=63091</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
