<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 792040, member: 6370&quot;]I believe the second coin (hammered) is a replica of a Viking money or Danegeld...the sword is the giveaway...The quality of the picture keeps me from reading the text but it is similar to the one below (which is fake) and I think its just as fake. The type you have were issued by Viking rulers in York and I believe are refered to as a &#039;war penny&#039; but I think it should ID as a &#039;St. Peter of York money&#039; minted around 920&#039;s A.D. :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/BI-210t.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>here is an old die housed in York that shows the coin your example is imitating...yours might have been minted there as a replica? There are many types minted as replicas and sell for a few dollars in pewter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/fill.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>then again, some would say I am more wrong than right most of the time so you might want to disregard this info. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
