[QUOTE="Mark Metzger, post: 3131995, member: 86472"]UPDATE While it's not exactly a coin, it is metal and it is round... Just purchased from [USER=40017]@PaddyB[/USER] this 5-6th century Anglo Saxon Brooch to correspond with [I]Beowulf[/I] (and John Gardner's I credible postmodern retelling in [I]Grendel). [/I]A perfect fit as a key element to Anglo Saxon culture and literature is how the Thanks would serve loyally to the Bretwaldas (or ring-givers) and in return would be given lots of shiny stuff. It is roughly 30mm in diameter and has a bit of remaining gilt in the crevices. Photos are from the seller as it makes it's way across the pond.
