DaveG38 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Just bought a nice Cnut Penny - Seaby 1159, a common type, but in about GVF grade. I'm trying to decipher the reverse legend and I'm hoping somebody can help. So far I've got what looks like CODRIC ON STANEO, but neither of the 'C's are definite and the 'I' is doubtful due to some blundering. Anybody help with the attribution i.e moneyer and mint? Many thanks in advance. Quote
DaveG38 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 Brilliant. Thanks Rob. My books only go back to 1066, so earlier periods are a bit more mysterious. I guessed at Stamford or maybe Steyning, but couldn't get the moneyer. The first letter doesn't look much like a modern G, I must say, although I can see it now you explain it. Quote
