<p>[QUOTE="Nap, post: 4888698, member: 73099"]This coin is probably a variant of series R, type 10, also known as "Wigraed type". The legend is blundered on your coin and the metal quality looks quite base, so it very well may be a contemporary imitation. Certainly the name Wigraed is spelled wrong, runic or not. The reverse is a little different than the standard type, but it's still within range of the regular type.
