Description: | Silver Anglo-Saxon primary sceat. The coin is in good condition, however a layer of corrosion has built up on the surface, with the silver showing through on the raised surfaces. The obverse of the coin is a debased right facing bust which resembles a porcupine. The reverse of the coin has a standard with an annulet in the centre, a small saltire in two angles, and pellets in the other corners. The sceat is 11.6mm in diameter, 7.22mm thick and it weighs 13.35 grams. The 'porcupine' type sceats were struck between 680 and 710AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 680
