Can You Identify This Aetheltred Coin

Thanks for your help in relation to the coin. Will do my best to have the coin weighed as soon as possible and will have it measured for you also.

@murfsnr, first welcome to CCF!

Second, it looks to me like you have a penny of Aethelred II (978-1016 AD). The rev of the coin (which you have posted upside down), shows the hand of God descending from a cloud is positioned between an Alpha and an Omega. The rev inscription on your coin doesn't match the plate coin in my Spink, so I'm a little concerned about your coin. Can you tell us where you got this piece?

Here is an example of a recent sale of this coin:

The attribution is Spink 1144 and BMC IIa as Pertinax noted previously.

Reverse is AELFRIC M-O HVNTAN = AElfric (moneyer) Huntanscir (i.e. Huntingdon)

This particular reverse mint / moneyer inscription is one of several cited in the cataloging of the Ipswich hoard of AEthelred II coinage.

The quality of work produced by the various minting efforts is extremely variable, ranging from "really nicely done" to "makes barbarous imitative Roman coins look professional."

Weight/diameter are reasonably close. Needs an expert opinion/authentication.
