    First one is a styca of Anglo Saxon Northumbria minted under Archbishop wigmund of York, minted around 837 to 854 ad. The archbishop of York still to this day is one of the most important of the dioceses of England, save Canterbury. These type of coins circulated around the time of the Viking raids on England.

    Secondly is the silver artig of bishop Andreas Pepler, bishop of Dorpat in modern Estonia, minted 1468-73. It was a part of the Livonian confederation and the bishopric, along with the Livonian order, nearly took the city of Novgorod in the War on the ice.
