Title
English: Saxon Coins
Description
English: A St Edmund penny minted by the Vikings of East Anglia, one of the "Saxon" coins decorating the margin of Moll's map of Norfolk, sold separately and as Map 22 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales..., copied from Figure 32 of Tabula II Nummi Saxonici on Page 139 of Obadiah Walker's "Notes on the Saxon Coins" appended to the English translation of William Camden's Britannica. See here for a similar coin.


Notes:
Obverse: + SCEA + DPI in Camden, + SCFA + DPI here, probably intending + SCE AIDM, Sancte Aidmund, O Holy Edmund or O St Edmund. The initial S is engraved sideways in the style common to the other St Edmund pennies.
Reverse: + B A DI + MOI, possibly intending + BADI MON..., Badi Moneta, Badi the Moneyer or Money of Badi but possibly simply a collection of illiterate marks in imitation of the earlier moneyer Bado. A similar coin has been found with the inscription + BADI + NOI (1).
Walker misidentified it as related to an Edwin of Northumbria, his note stating "32. The thirty-second, St. Edwy, is here placed next to his namesake: but it is a mistake; for it should be S. Edwynus. There were two St. Edwins, both Northumbers; the first a monk, the second a King. He laid the foundation of the cathedral of York; and was slain by Penda and Cadwallin the Briton, (to whom Penda, being taken prisoner, had sworn submission;) with Offred his son, and the whole army dispersed. His head was brought to York Minster; and that whole kingdom came into very great divisions and calamities. But this coin was not coined by him, nor do we know by whom: neither is Badi, the mint-master, known to what King he belonged; only that letter A is upon divers coins of the West Saxons, and therefore probably this also belonged to some of those kings."

London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.
