GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of All England. Penny, ND (946-55). Uncertain Mint; "Prim-", moneyer. Eadred. PCGS AU-58.
S-1115; N-713. Bust Crowned (BMC v) type. Obverse: + EΛDRED REX, crowned and draped bust right, breaking inner circle; Reverse: + PRIM MONE NONE, short cross pattee. Very well centered and highly enchanting, this specimen features great fabric and excellent metal quality, and serves as a tremendous example of the portrait type.
Compared to his immediate predecessors, very little is known of Eadred. It is likely that he had to deal with internal strife from other claimants of land in his kingdom, mostly in Northumbria. Eadred likely died of a digestive condition, but even that is uncertain. To view all items from the Paul C. Runze Collection, click here.
