The general appearance of this piece is consistent with that expected of old hoard find. Interestingly the Halton Moor (Lancaster) find of 1815 records eleven examples of Frithkollr with this reverse mint signature (eofr), although Taylor Combe who documented the hoard noted that only half were available for study, the remainder having already been dispersed amongst the local populus at the time.
Estimate: £180 - £220
