I've got a coin I need verification on. I'm not sure of the value at all. Is there anyone that could help me out? Thanks in advance.   Edited by MedLAD

@med, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm about 95% sure that the heart-shaped void visible on the side with the cross is indicative of this being a reproduction. I'll try to dig around and find a reference for that, but someone may weigh in with more info too.

Many thanks for the replies. Looking forward to see if anyone could shed some more light on this heart shaped void.
Cheers guys

I don't see this coin as purporting to be Hiberno-Norse but rather an Anglo-Saxon penny of Aethelred II struck by Leofstan at Canterbury. That said, it appears to be a modern cast in base metal. I hope I'm wrong.

Nice work @j1m for chasing down a12north as the proprietor of these replicas bearing a heart-shaped void/ trilobed counterstamp. I was almost positive that I had seen them somewhere and that somewhere was this previous CCF thread: http://goccf.com/t/390868"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
