[QUOTE="Edessa, post: 4955828, member: 84065"]The same "bird" that pecked all those English pennies, which I could see this coin circulating beside in a Scandinavian context. I would refer you to: [SIZE=5]"Metal analyses of Viking-Age coins. In: Metal analyses of coins 2018:1. Stockholm Numismatic Institute" by Eeva Jonsson. [/SIZE] This fascinating paper discusses the wide range of silver coins imported into Viking-Age Sweden and is available on Academia.edu. Hmm, I am certainly guilty of cutting and pasting attributions. Just looking at the auction records on AcSearch, it appears that several Auction Houses changed from the DOC Romanus II attribution to a Romanus I attribution sometime around 2010. But if the dating of AD 945-959 is correct, then it must be Romanus II. Outstanding posts by Sulla80 and Voulgaroktonou. Thanks for sharing![/QUOTE]
