Watch List notes:

BRITISH, Anglo-Saxon. Kings of All England. Cnut, 1016-1035. Penny (Silver, 17 mm, 0.76 g, 9 h), short cross type, moneyer Harthacnut, Lincoln, circa 1029-1035/6. ✠CNVT REX Diademed and cuirassed bust of Cnut to left, holding scepter in his right hand. Rev. ✠HERDENVT ON L•I: Small voided cross with circle in center. SCBC 1159. Clipped along the edge and with some scratches, otherwise, very fine.


The extreme rarity of the name Harthacnut makes a connection between the moneyer named on this coin and Cnut's son, Harthacnut (1018-1042), likely.
