Here is a cousin to @pal's coin and my last one for this decade. It is a Kahavanu from the Cholas Dynasty that dates to between 1000 and 1275 AD. It is attributed as MNI #730.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I can get us started for this decade with a silver Penny minted in Winchester, Great Britain. It dates to between 991 and 997 AD. The obv legend is AEDELRED REX ANGLUX. It was issued in the name of Aethelred II and the moneyer was Aelfsige. I have attributed it as SP 1148 and North 770.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Beautiful coin. This is called the Crux Type because of the lettering in the angles on the reverse. I think it's a standard Crux (left bust, upright sceptre, single fold in drapery) and so not 'early' or 'late' in the range.

Here is my last coin for this decade, a Bavarian Denar that was minted at Regensberg. It can be dated to between 985 and 995 AD and was issued under the authority of King Heinrich II. The obv inscription is H VICSVNRX while the rev inscriptions are something like +XRNE SHIIVSA and MAO.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Some really nice coins shown for the last decades! Unfortunately the places I collect were making pretty crude coins back then... Here is a denier of Liege issued by its first Prince-Bishop, Notger, in the name of Otto III as King of Germany, datable to 983-996. Dengis 4, Numista 335652   Obverse: Bust left.
