Description: | A broken fragment of a silver early-medieval penny of mid-late Anglo-Saxon date, probably late 8th-mid 10th century. Little survives of the design, the remaining obverse probably showing an element of a bust, the reverse is unclear. The obverse inscription is illegible, the style of the reverse (MO)NETA inscription suggesting an earlier date in the late 8th or 9th century, perhaps under Cuthred of Kent (798-807) or Coenwulf/Ceolwulf of Mercia (796-821; 821-3). The possibility that the obverse inscription reads 'STAN', i.e. for Aethelstan (924-39) must also be considered.
