Gainn Valued Member United Kingdom 218 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 7:40 pm The only ones I've seen similar were of Cnut, Eadbehrt and Aethelred ii but it says '+ WVLF MON SIHTVN' on the reverse which indicates a place called Sigtuna in Sweden (not that it is actually a Swedish coin - it's complicated ). Meandering read, but might help. https://www.britnumsoc.org/publicat...BNJ_11_4.pdf :edit Oh, and just to add complication - that reverse was reused for the Henry I Type XII.

The dots on the helmet are close to the ones on yours and some of the detail left side matches the CNUT one in the high spots. Report this Post to the Staff
