<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 3086334, member: 92212&quot;]Thank you very much for taking the time to share not just pictures, but also a thoughtful overview!!!&nbsp; I have only one of this genre of coin, which I purchased on a whim due to fascination of the style and symbols. Below is the coin, with what information I have. (Notice on both sides that the outer circle which may seem at first glance to be merely a dotted border is actually a snake seemingly in the process of biting its tail.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I could ask more questions, but I&#039;ll limit it to just one: </p><p>Any supposition about the meaning of the small &#039;O&#039; (&#039;circle&#039; / &#039;annulet&#039; / &#039;ring&#039;) which appear on many of these types?&nbsp; (Such as the 2 on my coin&#039;s reverse.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]778073[/ATTACH]</p><p>Anglo-Saxon, East Anglian, Billon AR Sceat, ca.: 690-710AD</p><p>Obv.: Diademed head, r.; serpent encircling, legend off-flan (clipped?) </p><p>Rev.: Bird on cross, &#039;o&#039; at ea. side, small cross r. field; serpent encircling.</p><p>Weight: 1.2 gr.&nbsp; Diam.: 12 mm. </p><p>Attribution: Seaby 777a</p><p><br /></p><p>THANKS![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
