Aethelstan (924‑939), Penny, circumscription cross type, Oxford mint, moneyer Ingelri, small cross pattée at centre both sides, concentric circles and legend surrounding, +EĐITИΛL EIX (blundered obverse legend). Rev, legend reads +INGELRI MO OX VRBI, 1.24g (S.1093; N.672; SCBI 9 [Ashmolean], 327; CEB.199). An exceptional example of the circumscription cross for Aethelstan, with the mint name incorporated in the reverse inscriptions. An odd juxtaposition of a blundered obverse reading with a precise and highly legible reverse moneyer mint script. Rare in the Oxford mint town, this being the only example within coin archives system for Oxford. Set out on a full flan with much of the outer borders visible, some striking stress striations. About extremely fine, considerably rare. Highly coveted in today's ever developing Anglo‑Saxon market.
