Early medieval coin: Sceat
Description
English: A Secondary phase Middle Saxon silver-plated copper alloy cut sceat of Series J (type 37) of c.710-725. The obverse shows two facing busts; the reverse a whorl of birds. The bust style is considered by Metcalf to be imitative in that the he sees the official issues as having a mouth formed of two pellets sloping towards the left, whereas these slope in the other direction. The coin was probably minted somewhere in the immediate Humber region.
