Kings of Wessex Alfred The Great Silver Cross Pattee Penny 871-899AD, Viking Imitation
20x21mm, 1.27g

Crude, retrograde legends mean this coin will be a contemporary Viking imitation of Alfred’s two line type.

Small section of edge loss and a few minor perforations evident under magnification consistent with a heavy strike, coin is stable.

Peck marks to reverse (a result of the silver being tested during Saxon/Viking times)

A great piece of history with connections to Alfred the Great and the invading Vikings.

This coin comes with an old collectors ticket.

Gold Roman Coins offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of the ancient world, providing insights into the reigns of notable figures such as those shown here; Valens, Marcian, Zeno and Honorius.

Valens faced the daunting task of defending the empire against external threats, particularly the Gothic incursions. His gold coins often show him with a stern visage.

Honorius, presided over a period of decline and fragmentation in the Western Roman Empire. His coins often depict symbols of authority and imperial power, reflecting his efforts to assert control amid increasing instability.

Marcian`s reign was marked by efforts to restore order and rebuild the empire`s strength. The coins reflect his commitment to stability.

Zeno inherited a divided empire and the gold coins portray a determined ruler striving to maintain unity amidst turmoil.

Check out the renowned Professor Jeffery P. Mass’ collection of short cross pennies – a name synonymous with expertise in numismatics - uploaded to Silbury Coins today!

The Professor Jeffery P. Mass collection of short cross pennies is perhaps the best known name and collection in this corner of numismatics, a Anglo American gentleman who was always willing to share his extensive knowledge of the subject and with virtually unrivalled academic abilities. In his fifteen years of collecting short cross pennies he accumulated not the largest, but arguably the most comprehensive representation of the series. This was recognised by the decision to make his collection the subject of a volume in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles series, an acknowledgement of its importance. Like Jeffrey North before him, Jeffrey Mass undertook the authorship of his own collection. His collection was dispersed following his death in 2001. #numismatics #jefferypmass #medievalcoinsforsale #medieval #shortcrosspenny ...
