deemas Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Can't find the similar. Need your help to identify. Thank you in advance. Quote
Rob Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 It isn't English or Hiberno-Norse. Try somewhere in Scandinavia as I think it is an imitation that is a cross between an Ethelred Last Small Cross obverse and a Cnut Quatrefoil(?) reverse. I don't have any books on these. 2 Quote
Ukstu Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Was going to say the same. It's probably a viking imitation. 1 Quote
deemas Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 I've thought the same. Seems the silver is more springy as used on most Germans coins. The British coins are made from much softer silver. May be a way of remelting the Kufic coins? 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) It could be slightly debased (lower grade silver ) perhaps. Edited July 13, 2018 by Ukstu Quote
deemas Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 German coins is not a low quality silver but they are always springy Quote
