[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4656022, member: 100731"]Thanks [USER=110504]@+VGO.DVCKS[/USER] for the compliment.

Some sceatta's were probably minted in England, some in France, some in Frisia, some in West-Germany, some in Danmark, etc. Anglo-Saxon is a compromis, though it would be more correct to write "FRISIANS". There are two sceatta's that are attributed to the Frisians: the series E (which I posted two examples from), which consists of many varieties and countless sub-varieties, and the series D (with only three varieties and some sub-varieties).
