CNG Triton III, 30 November 1999, lot 1466
Valued History (Ely, Cambs.) list, December 1997, no. 48
Found near Watton, Norfolk, 1997 (EMC 1997.0115)
BNJ Coin Register 1997, no. 115
Pendwine is a very elusive moneyer. He is not known as a moneyer for Offa, and Blunt Lyon and Stewart listed only one coin of Coenwulf by him, a 'tribrach moline' type from the Delgany hoard (BLS 17; N.342). Since then two examples of this remarkable 'standing cross' type have been found, this example, found in Norfolk in 1997, and the second found at Alfriston, East Suffolk, in 2009. While the obverse has stylistic ties with the early London issues of Coenwulf, and therefore the coin has been listed as a London type by Naismith, the 'standing cross' reverse does not relate to any other reverse type, and is not know for any other moneyer.
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.
