<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 4615501, member: 96746&quot;]In the last few years of Aethelred&#039;s reign the Danish invaders ravaged the south of England. A consequence of that was the temporary closure and relocation of a number of mints to more secure locations. One such mint was that at the old Roman settlement of Ilchester on the River Ivel in Somerset which moved 5 miles east to Cadbury with its old iron age hill fort giving it commanding views over the surrounding countryside. Although the coins struck were of the regular issue, the relocation to the chosen site was very much an emergency measure. This is an Aethelred Last Small Cross penny struck at Cadbury. The moneyer/mint reading is GOD ON CADANBYRIM. Ex-Lockett 3645. Bent with a few peck marks, but perfectly acceptable.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1143200[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
