Title
NARC-64FCB4: coenwulf penny obverse
Description
English: An early medieval silver penny of Coenwulf of Mercia (796 - 821 AD).

A Group III type with a cross moline reverse; North no. 365. Three similar examples are recorded on the as EMC: 2012.0263, 2000.0015 and 2012.0239. Two of those are closest parallels with moneyer Wihtræd (PIHTRED).

Dr. Martin Allen of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge states:

This can be classified with Naismith type E12.5 (North 365), which consists of EMC 2012.0239, a coin in the BM (BMC 91) and this coin. The three coins differ in the appearance of pellets in the angles of the cross - two, one or none.

Dr. Michael Lewis adds:

It was minted in East Anglia, probably at Ipswich, which at this time was controlled by the Mercians. ... Coenwulf is probably best known for his campaign against the Kingdom of Kent, and its king Eadberht in AD 798. Coenwulf gained the support of the Pope to re-conquer Kent, a campaign which also resulted in the brutal mutilation of the Kentish king
