Description: | A complete Early Medieval Sceat, c. 700-715 AD. Standards, Sub-group 3: Series D, Type 8. Minted in the Netherlands (probably Domburg). This group is defined by decoration representing a standard with linear elements: pellets, lines, right angles, Ts, annulets and crosses.Obverse: Beaded standard of fine style enclosing four right angles around an annulet; probably representing a degenerate TOTII legend; other detail outside of the central square is obscured, but possibly includes a plain cross and tufa on one side (cf. Ambramson 2006, No. D140). Rev.: Central cross pommee of fine style with pellets in angles and in field, chevrons in margin and another cross pommee.According to Abramson (2006, 10), 'This is a substantial and early series issued in Frisia for the commercial trade in Domburg from where they were heavily traded.' Cf. Metcalf 1993, Plate 10, Nos. 185-6; also Abramson 2006, Nos. D120, D130, p118.
