Carsten Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hallo EnglandI hope someone can help me with ID on this coin. The danish forum 'Detektor Danmark' think it could be a York Ethelred imitation, hammered by Knud den Store/Canute the Great. Can anyone help ? Quote
Nordle11 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 No idea from me, but someone will be along shortly, don't worry.Welcome! 1 Quote
Matteo95 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I've controlled on Spink ' s Coins of England and I have to say that the portrait is very similar to Aethelred's ( especially in type 1151 ) , but others elements are different .. Your coin has a easier style , the cross is very simple and legends are shorter than normal coins .. in my little , I think that the idea of an imitation could be right ... It is a very interesting coin 1 Quote
azda Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Could it be Irish? Hiberno Norse Edited October 29, 2015 by azda 1 Quote
Carsten Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 I have been looking at Hiberno Norse, but no one fits with the cross..... Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 It's a Scandinavian issue in the imitative style of Aethelred II's Longcross issue.This is the English issue:Try and get your hands on some of Brita Malmer's work as that will have it in if it's an official issue and not a Baltic/Scandinavian contemporary forgery/imitation.

Carsten Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks for trying heleping me with ID!I have been studing some of Brita Malmers works, and some of her coin footage almost looks like my coin. But I can't find any one with that type of cross.Now I deliver the coin to the danish museeum, as the low says - then I have an answer in to to tre years :(They will probably say it's a imitation. If I get a useful answer I will post it in this topic.Greetings from Carsten - Denmark Quote
