Hiberno-Norse. Phase III (1035-60) Penny ND MS63★ NGC, S-6132. Blundered legends, bust left, without hand on neck / blundered legends, long voided cross with triple-crescent ends, crude hands in two angles. An outstanding hammered penny, the 'star' designation it has received in recognition of the marvelous vibrant toning this piece exhibits. Presumably resulting from a long stint in a collector's cabinet, this piece shows iridescent pinks and deep cobalts enamelling the obverse legends, the reverse displaying more seafoam greens and ethereal blues. This eye-appeal coupled with a sharp strike renders this a truly elite example of the type.
