Description: | Early medieval coin; silver sceat, North no.176, of king Aldfrith of Northumbria 685-704, presumably struck at York. See also Grierson-Blackburn Medieval European Coinage vol. 1, pp. 166 and 182 for previous attributions. Diameter 11.92mm, thickness 1.76mm, weight 1.11g.North 1963 ('English Hammered Coinage' Spink) notes that this coin was "Formerly attributed to Aldfrith of Northumbria (685-704). However the style of the animal is entirely different from that of similar coins in the Northumbrian series. It has been suggested that this coin may have been struck by Ealdfrith, king of Lindsey, c.790." (p41).
