Description: | A silver penny of Offa (757-796 AD), heavy coinage, c.792-796 AD. The coin shows some signs of corrosion to both surfaces and appears to be missing most of the outer edge of the flan. As North, 1980: no. 322.Photographs of this coin have been examined by John Naylor (PAS Finds Advisor) and Rory Naismith (Fitzwilliam Museum) who identify it as North, 1980: no. 322 (Blunt 85, 99) for the moneyer Ciolhard. They indicate that it is identical to a recently recorded example from Kent (KENT-56D318) but struck from different dies, furthermore, that it is paralleled in one other known example of this type for the moneyer Ciolhard (Chick 203 - ex DNW 19.6.2002, lot 130) but that none of these examples are die-linked.
