[ATTACH=full]1025735[/ATTACH] I know there is some discussion whether the obverse should be rotated 180 degrees, and thus should represent a wolf or a porcupine, but that's another story (and I like to think about it as a boat :p) HR Mossop was apparently a proficient collector of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon coins. A large part of his collection was sold in 1991 in an auction by Glendinging's London.
