Offa Silver Penny 757-796AD Light Coinage
15mm, 0.97g

Offa was the son of Thingfrith and related to earlier Mercian rulers.
He became king of Mercia following a period of civil war after the assassination of Aethelbald, subsequently consolidating control of other territories; this apparent unification of England is interpreted by some as a quest for power. His coinage is artistically accomplished and his wife Cynethryth is the only Saxon queen to be depicted on a coin.

A lower cost example with clear details.

Provenance will be provided.

*The Standlake Hoard of Boduoc Staters is to be auctioned by Silbury Coins*

This exciting hoard consists of six gold staters of the Dobunnic ruler Boduoc in exceptional condition. Found near the village of Standlake in Oxfordshire on organised metal detecting events during 2023.

The finds were declared treasure and recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme and Celtic Coin Index, later disclaimed and returned to the finders and landowner.

This gives private collectors the rare opportunity to secure a high-grade rarity from the Ancient British inscribed series, seldom are coins of this quality found and offered for sale.

These coins will be offered for sale by auction ending at 5pm (GMT) on the 14th December 2024. Bidding is exclusively through Silbury Coins, live on our website, by email or post.

For further information or to receive a printed auction catalogue visit our website (www.silburycoins.com) or get in touch today.

Although new to the auction scene the team at Silbury Coins have been offering the largest selection of Ancient British coinage at fixed prices for many years, director John Philpotts comments ‘with great experience and market knowledge it makes sense for us to handle the auction sale of finds like this, no one is better placed to make a good job of it’.

To discuss selling similar coins get in touch to see what we can offer.
