Early Medieval - Coin - Penny of Coenwulf |
||
| Description |
English: This is a very rare find for Wales, a hammered silver penny of King Coenwulf of Mercia (796 – 821). The uploader or CPAT inverted the coin, probably misunderstanding its central but mangled Alpha/Omega symbol as an overbar M indicating abbreviation of Merciae ("[King] of Mercia") or Merciorum ("[King] of the Mercians"). The reverse has a Tribrach moline of two lines voided, dividing the legend with a pellet in the ‘MOD’ sector. The tribrach is supposed to represent the archiepiscopal pall thus giving the opinion that these coins are struck at Canterbury. The moneyer is Æthelmod (E þ LEMOND).
The coin has damage to the rim in the lower right quarter as viewed from the obverse, other than that, this coin is in super condition with little sign of wear. An identical coin can be found in the Handbook of the Coins of Great Britain and Ireland in the British Museum - by Herbert Appold Grueber, Barclay Vincent Head – page 5, item 34. Further reference is at EMC number 1992.7640 (Ref: SCBI 42 - Southeastern: 640; Metcalf 1988: 133; BLS Cn 10e) from the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles in the Fitzwilliam Museum. |
