Description: | Early Medieval silver sceat, Series O, Type 40, (Man with two crosses/monster with one leg raised) probably contemporary imitation, c.710-750 AD, North 113.
The obverse is struck badly off centre, the coin is light and the metal quality is poor. This supports interpretation as a contemporary imitation. Metcalf (1994 p 480-1) suggests those with the feet turning right and a diamond of four pellets between the beak and the back (both features present on this coin) are unofficial types. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
