Well, the R stamped in the center stands for Replica, I guess.

The prototype is a penny of Siefredus of Northumbria: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/..._obverse.jpg

The coin is a copy (as noted by erafjel) of a coin from the Viking kings of York, not the kings of Mercia.

Genuine coins of this type are quite scarce and worth thousands of pounds.
