From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone, April 2000. Ex Patrick Finn inventory, 1990s.
Alfred the Great (871-899), King of Wessex, succeeded his brother Aethelred I and bought a respite so that he could strengthen Wessex against future Danish attacks. He is the only English monarch to ever earn the epithet “the Great.” Alfred implemented legal, administrative, and military reforms that ensured that his successors would unite all England and end the Danish threat. A scholar, he translated into English Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy and, in tandem with his biographer Bishop Asser, sponsored a general revival of letters and arts in England. In 878, he negotiated the Treaty of Wedmore dividing England into an expanded Kingdom of Wessex and the Danelaw. In 880, Alfred recaptured London and in celebration struck splendid pennies bearing the city’s monogram. Description

Blunt, Aethelstan 439 (this coin illustrated); SCBI –; North 683; SCBC 1100 (plate coin in previous editions). Deeply toned. VF. Extremely rare.
From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection. Ex M.A. Sinton Collection (Triton III, 30 November 1999), lot 1477; P. Finn FPL (Winter 1994/95), no. 47; R.C. Lockett Collection (Part IV, Glendining, 26 April 1960), lot 3683; L.E. Bruun Collection (Sotheby & Co., 14 May 1925), lot 93; P.W.P. Carlyon-Britton Collection (Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, 19 November 1913), lot 377.
The Tower type of Aethelstan is unparalleled in his coinage. Christopher Blunt posited that it may have been an ecclesiastical issue, struck for Hrothweard, Archbishop of York, between Aethelstan's capture of the city in 927 and the Archbishop's death in 931. If this is the case, the tower on the reverse is likely to be a depiction of York Minster. Description
