Description
(x) Mercia, Ludica (825-827), Penny, 1.19g, 6h, East Anglian mint, Werbald, + lvdica rex me, legend begins at 9 o'clock, diademed bust right, the beaded inner circle following the shape of the plain square truncation, rev. per bald mone in three lines (Naismith E28.b; N.398; S.931), small edge chip and a little buckled, otherwise very fine and of the highest rarity
provenance:
Spink auction 106, 12 October 1994, lot 385
Found at Bradenham, near Dereham, Norfolk, June 1994 (EMC 1993.0183)
This coin is listed by Naismith as type E28b, with the only other example being the coin in the Hunterian which is listed as E28a. This is due to the similarity of obverse legends and the virtually identical reverse type. When it comes to the portraits however, while the heads are similar, the draped bust of the Hunterian coin is very different to the square undraped truncation of this piece, and so they are not really the same type.
Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.

Important Information
SALEROOM NOTICES:
lot 39 Burgred Penny - The coin is as the example described by Hawkins from the Gravesend Hoard, but it is not necessarily the same coin. The provenance should read POSSIBLY from the Gravesend Hoard.
Lot 40 Coelwulf II Penny - the flaw on the neck is not a metal flaw (the metal is very good) but is caused in the strike, perhaps an obstruction on or occlusion in the die, causing the depression on the king’s neck. The estimate should be £7,000-9,000
An invoice showing the total amount due, including buyer’s premium, taxes, postage charges and other fees will be sent to buyers directly by Spink.
