File:Saxon Coin of Coenuulf (obverse).jpg

English: The obverse half of the upper depiction of two Saxon coins from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of Surrey, sold separately and as Map 11 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales... The coin is a penny of Coenwulf of Mercia, apparently conflated with Cynewulf of Wessex. As is normal for Moll's presentation of coins in the series, both have somewhat mangled inscriptions. The model coin would've been one of those struck by the moneyer Lul c. 798 at the "East Anglian mint", probably at Ipswich.

The coin was copied from figure 2 of Tabula II Nummi Saxonici on Page 139 of Obadiah Walker's "Notes on the Saxon Coins" appended to the English translation of William Camden's Britannica, where its note states "2. The second Coenuulf, called commonly Kenulph, Kinulf, Ceoluulf. One of that name was adopted to be King of the Northumbers by Osric: little more known of him, than that he left his kingdom, and became a religious at Lindisfarne. Another was King of the West Saxons, who reigned in great splendor and renown thirty-one years. He was once worsted by the great Offa at Bensington (now Benson) in Oxfordshire. He was slain at Mereton in Surrey (by Kinheard, a seditious nobleman, banished by him) as he was with a lady there, too much affected by him about anno 786; but this Coenuulf seems to have been a King of Mercia, a very worthy prince: this coin is of him; he was a very powerful and victorious, as well as pious prince; accounted one of the great Saxon monarchs. He dispossessed Ethelbertus Pren, King of Kent, and took him prisoner, but afterwards released him without ransom or other condition."
