From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone, 2010.

Pirie notes that, by this period, “the distinction between unofficial work and the authorized coinage finally becomes blurred” (p. 66). This feature is particularly evident on the present coin, pairing an apparently irregular obverse with a regular reverse used for coins of Archbishop Wulfhere.
