Hiberno-Scandinavian
Hiberno-Scandinavian period, Phase II/III, Sihtric, Penny, Dublin, in imitation of Long Cross coinage, draped bust left, long face with distinctive ear, rev. long voided cross, hand in two angles, blundered legends both sides, 0.93g/12h (SCBI BM 119ff; cf. SCBI Copenhagen 101 for obv.; SCBI Ulster 134ff; S 6132; DF 24). Extremely fine and toned, very rare £600-£800
---
Although blundered, the obverse legend has elements of the name Sihtric visible and despite being fairly light weight, the flan appears slightly larger than the usual Phase III coins. On the portrait, the ear is clearly distinguishable, as found on the earlier series
