Great Britain
Early Anglo-Saxon Period. Sceat ND (710-760) MS61 NGC, Essex mint, Series S, Type 47, S-814 (incorrectly stated as S-831 on holder), N-121. 1.13gm. Female centaur with head turned right, palm fronds either side / Whorl of 4 wolf heads, beaded tongues forming central cross. A rare early Anglo-Saxon piece, incredibly represented in Mint State giving a crystal clear view of the dramatic Saxon imagery to either side. Crisply struck with visible luster, the sole example of the type certified by NGC; an outstanding representative of this crude issue.
