Kings of All England. Aethelred II (978-1016) Penny ND (c. 997) Choice UNC (flan crack, slightly wavy flan), Lincoln mint, Dreng as moneyer, Intermediate Small Cross type, S-1150, N-773 (R). 20mm. 1.49gm. +ÆĐELRÆD REX ΛNGLO, diademed, draped bust left / +DRENG MO LINCOLN, small cross pattee with pellet above. An incredible specimen boasting an extremely fine, masterful style of engraving--all of the devices boldly struck up with sharp edges, perfectly centered, on a lightly toned flan with prominent die polish--surely suggesting that Dreng was an expert moneyer. It is important that we note a substantial flan crack extending from the edge to the inner board and following it part way around, though the planchet otherwise appears quite integral and manufactured of substantially good metal.
