<p>[QUOTE="Parisi James, post: 8393738, member: 134937"]The type is correct but the moneyer and mint attribution are incorrect - the mint is Norwich (not Canterbury) and the moneyer’s name is Eadwacer (or at least this is how the name is normalised). North is a standard reference book for all English Hammered Coinage and an invaluable resource but for Anglo-Saxon coinage you may find it helpful to look at the Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds (run by the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge). This contains the entire SCBI series as well as more recent finds in an online searchable database. You should be able to assess the rarity of the type/ moneyer/ mint and typically photos in the database will be good enough for die-matching.
