From the Richard A. Jourdan Collection of Medieval European Coins. Ex Dr. Andrew Wayne Collection (Triton XIX, 5 January 2016), lot 848; Bru Sale 6 (9 December 2011), lot 112.
A coin struck late in the Anglo-Saxon Thrymsa coinage series than spans the move from gold to silver coinage in England. The obverse is inspired by late Roman types; however, on the reverse we see the appearance of runes, a uniquely Anglo-Saxon feature.
