Early-medieval brooch: Coin brooch |
||
| Description |
English: A gilded silver coin brooch or nummular brooch of Late Early-Medieval date (11th century AD), missing its suspension or attachment rivets or lugs. The object is made from a silver penny of Edward the Confessor (AD 1042-1066), which has been modified into a probable brooch or badge. Gilding survives to the front of the brooch (the reverse of the coin) and four rivet holes pierce the coin to enable it to be mounted. The piercings are located at, on the obverse, roughly 2 and 4 o'clock and then at either side of 9 o'clock, but no rivets survive. There are traces of gilding on the back of the brooch (the obverse of the coin) near the edges, however it is unlikely that this face was fully gilded, as other example show.
The coin is an expanding cross type of the heavy coinage, struck AD 1052-1053; Bust type c, North N824. The moneyer is Godric, mint of Lincoln. Obverse: Diademed bust left; in front, sceptre with a trefoil head: EDP(E)RD RE CX. Die axis: 6 o'clock The brooch is typical of a type of coin brooch which appears to have been particularly fashionable from the middle of the reign of Edward the Confessor (AD 1042-66) to some time in the reign of William I (1066-87). While it is impossible to say exactly how soon after the coins were issued they were converted into brooches, it appears that this took place while each coin type was still current, which would mean no more than two or three years between the issue of the coin and the manufacture of the brooch, placing this example some time in the early to mid 1050s. |
