My latest hammered coin

I purchased this coin today for £150 which I think is a fair price and apparently it is rare to get these in this condition, any extra information or sources I can be linked to about him would be appreciated.

Thankyou, that is exactly why I bought it, never seen one before, I'm sure it will look nice in my collection

 

my girlfriend will probably kill me when she finds out how much I spent today

 

But we always cannot resist such temptations even under such risks, haha:devil:

 

Very cool coin.

 

thanks

 

If anyone could tell me anything else about this coin or Egbert II I would be very happy
