<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nap, post: 8123415, member: 73099&quot;]Sorry to resurrect an old thread with a question, but if anyone&#039;s looking, I could use some help with this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1414461[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It came from a Polish auction with no provenance, and with no attribution, just &quot;Scandinavian imitation&quot;, it looks to imitate Aethelred II, but two different types, with the obverse copying the long cross type and the reverse the crux type.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first letter of the obverse legend looks like an &#039;S&#039; but that&#039;s about as far as I can get.</p><p><br /></p><p>My initial thought was that it was more likely to be a continental European imitation rather than Scandinavian, but the Polish auctioneer (who did a decent cataloging job) didn&#039;t think it was German, Bohemian, Pomeranian, etc.&nbsp; I think the closest I&#039;ll be able to get is &quot;Baltic/North Sea world&quot;, but if anyone has any ideas to set me on the right track, I&#039;d love to hear them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
