Description: | An Early-Medieval silver sceat of Secondary Phase Series J (type 37), c.710-25; probably minted in the Humber region.This sceat shows a whorl of four birds, in linear style, themselves forming a cross clockwise around the central cross pommee on the reverse. The obverse side of the flan shows two diademed heads with braided hair, facing each other with trident long cross pommee between.The coin is slightly corroded indicating it is possibly base (or even plated) although probably not enough to definitively suggest a contemporary imitation. Metcalf (1994: 351-3) suggested that the presence of ears on the busts may suggest it is an unofficial issue. See also Abramson (2006: 52-3).
