Denmark. Svend Estridsen. 1047-1075. AR Penning (16mm, 1.12 g). West Danish mint, possibly Aarhus or Aalborg. Draped bust left with wild hair, holding lis-tipped scepter, pellet behind bust / Quadrilateral, with pellet in center and angles, over cross. Hauberg -; Hbg. auk. - ; LEB 1529 var. Very Fine, flat spots, green deposits. Rare.
This type resembles Hauberg 57 and Hauberg 65 from the Viborg mint, however, Bengtsson argues that the present type is likely not to have been minted in Viborg but in Aarhus or Aalborg. See K. Bengtsson "I ljuset av en ny mynttyp - tankar om myntningen på norra Jylland under Svend Estridsen" in Meddelanden från Skånes Numismatiska Förening, Malmö 2011.
