Martin c 600/800 AD English Saxon gold coin send to Fizwilliam museum for ID and recording Not shown in any book I have ??? 1.35g, 13.87mm 'Saxon' gold coins not in the reference books are usually Merovingian tremisses, and this coin (EMC 2010.0130) is no exception to this rule. Merovingian gold coins greatly outnumber Anglo-Saxon gold coins as finds in England. With thanks, Martin Monster find C600 AD English Saxon As usual this coin (EMC 2011.0059) is Merovingian and not Anglo-Saxon, but an important find nonetheless. We have recorded two cut halves of Anglo-Saxon gold shillings in recent years, and a cut half of a Series B sceat, but this coin is noticeably more than a half (between two-thirds and three-quarters), so it may have been cut up as bullion. This is developing into a really interesting hoard. Best wishes, Martin I should have mentioned that there is no obvious match in the works of reference on Merovingian coins, but the inscriptions are legible, which gives ome hope of identification eventually. Martin c 8thC Saxon gold coin - sent to Fitzwilliam museum for recording and ID Unusually thick coin for a Saxon 1.31g,9.51mm x 1.61mm thick for ID 0.87g, 12.39mm Many thanks for this new coin, which I have recorded as EMC 2011.0044. Most 'Saxon' gold coins found in this country are Merovingian tremisses, and this is no exception to that rule. As you rightly say it is too thick to be Anglo-Saxon. The absence of an readable inscription is a problem and I have been unable to find an illustration of a similar coin in the reference books on Merovingian coins (not an unusual experience).

7thC Saxon gold Tremissis 1.27g, 13.16mm 'The new find (EMC 2007.0069) is a Merovingian tremissis of the 7th century. The name of the mint on the obverse seems to read PAATICIACO, and the moneyer's name on the reverse is DEAIRENASCA. I have found a coin with a fairly similar obverse inscription (PATICACO VIGO) from an unidentified town in the region of Tours (Prou 413). If I obtain any more information I shall let you know. I have passed on your enquiry about the nature of the site to Mark Blackburn, who is much better qualified than I to answer it. The evidence you are finding for early Anglo-Saxon activity in the area is certainly very impressive'.

"The king's title, REX D S N, alleges that Eric was the king of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (the three countries were united at that time). But that wasn't entirely true. Margaret I, who adopted him as her son, ruled those three countries from 1376 until her death in 1412. Eric was crowned king in 1397, but mainly to get around the problem that Denmark did not allow female sovereigns. (Margaret had had acted as "regent" prior to that time.) But despite his title, she actually ran things right up to her death in 1412. Just an oddity of history." |
