Description	English: A gold solidus of Wigmund, Archbishop of York from c. 837 to 854. As a gold coin this is a very unusual piece, Northumbrian coinage of the period being the near-brass stycca produced in huge quantities. The facing bust is equally unusual and probably copied from Byzantine coins. Presumed to be a commemorative or votive piece and not for circulation.
