This remarkable coin was struck at York by the well attested northeastern moneyer Ingelgar for Anlaf Guthfrithsson. The type is closely related in both style and artistic accomplishment to the popular and very rare floral issue of Edward the Elder (SCBC 1078) struck by Heremod at the northwestern mint of Chester
