PS: I would like to know where you acquired these coins, a market would surely be a place to buy replica coins. Report this Post to the Staff

It appears to be a Northumbrian "beast sceat" of king Eadberht, like this UKDFD example or this one, but I'd agree there's something about the artwork that doesn't seem to match any examples I could find. The style of the beast, in particular, doesn't look angular enough, or maybe it's just the fuzzy picture making it look bad. But once again, I have to plead ignorance of the variability in design. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
