Obverse legend – EDIS.I.TAN TX TOT BRIT (Aethelstan, king of all England)

Reverse Legend – + EIE MONETA LVNER (Ele, moneyer at London)

An interesting coin, the legends are somewhat blundered but generally this coin is of official manufacture. Britain was heavily infiltrated by Viking/Scandinavian visitors at this time so it is more likely that these are dies produced officially at the mint by a die cutter who didn’t fully understand the English language than any kind of imitative coinage.

This coin comes with an previous collectors ticket.
