Description: | A silver coin; probably a modern copy of an Early Medieval secondary sceatta (710-760AD), Series H, Type 49. The coin has a diameter of 14.3mm and is 1.7mm thick, so is unusually thick and large. It weighs 2.26g which is double the normal weight. The obverse has a 'Wodan' head with annulets around. The reverse shows a pecking bird. For reference see 806 in 'Coins of England' by Spink or number 103 in North. Genuine examples on the database are SOMDOR-DF6636, IOW-6C3C74, IOW-29A802, IOW-F08F06, IOW-401B68 and WILT-8FBF45.
