Hello folks, I found this cool thin coin that seems to be from the Vikings. On the back it says,
anlaf guthfrithson 939-941 with WR
Any idea what it is?
Thanks for your help,

This is undoubtedly a copy. The earliest dated coins using our calendar came several houndred years later. As for who made the copy, I have no idea.

The WR stands for Westair Reproductions.
They provide copy coins to museums for kids to buy on school visits...probably 50p's worth.
