Title
Coin
Description
English: Silver, penny, Alfred the Great (871-99), Two-line type (third coinage) (N635-41), c.880-99, mint uncertain, moneyer: Wulfred.

North lists the mint possibilities as being either: Canterbury, London or Mercia (North Ref No. 635-639).

There is the possibility that this is in fact a Viking imitation, but it is not certain. The coin was double struck, hence the distortions on obverse and reverse, and is over-large and over the standard weight. There is a hole though the coin between the AEL and [---] on the obverse; and after the RE[-] on the reverse. other ref: EMC 2005.0018:
