MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1570 Posts	Posted 01/14/2026 07:29 am Thank you. So it's Aethelred II Penny, 987-1016. Last small cross type, London D dies, Leofred, (Leofred mon lvn). Is there any way to pin a date to this type of coinage at all? Met. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7968 Posts	Posted 01/14/2026 08:05 am I don't have any reference books on this place/era, but I see knowledgeable sellers placing this type at the end of the reign, 1009-1017. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3282785 ...which implies there is some evidence for posthunous production.

I did actually put this on ebay a while back but decided to keep it as it's the only coin of this type that I have. Report this Post to the Staff
