Title
English: Saxon Coins
Description
English: A Jewel Cross penny from the reign of Harold I Harefoot, one of the Saxon coins decorating the margin of Moll's map of Suffolk, sold separately and as Map 21 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales..., copied from Figure 22 of Tabula III Nummi Saxonici on Page 146 of Obadiah Walker's "Notes on the Saxon Coins" appended to the English translation of William Camden's Britannica.


Notes:
Obverse: +HAROLD REX [King Harold]
Reverse: +SǷAFA ON LINCOLN: [Minted by Swafa or Svafi at Lincoln]
Walker's note misattributes the coin to Harold II Godwinson, stating "22. The twenty-second is of Harold, a younger son of Earl Godwin. How he gained the kingdom, whilst the rightful heir Edgar was alive, except by force and power, I know not. Some say King Edward bequeathed it to him, conceiving Edgar not so able to govern; others that he was chosen by the consent of the nobility; but this is not probable. But his father as long as he lived had used all means, just and unjust, to get the great offices of command into his hands, of which, coming after his death to Harold, the best and worthiest of his children, he made use accordingly. Before his reign he had showed himself very valiant, diligent, and loyal also; at least more than his brethren: and as soon as crowned he endeavoured by all prudent and fitting means to obtain the favour of the people. But his reign lasted not long, and was taken up with wars and troubles: at last, fighting rashly and indiscreetly with William Duke of Normandy, he was slain with two of his brethren; the third being killed before in a battle near York. And so ended the great power and ambition of Earl Godwin and his family: as also of the kingdom of the Saxons."

London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.
