Wendelberht coined for Redwulf as well as for Aethelred II. His coins of Aethelred II are scarce, and his coins of Redwulf are rare.
This particular reverse die was also used to strike coins for Aethelred II.
Besides this coin, and another in the Moffat collection, the few Redwulf/Wendelberht coins that I can track down are: 5 in the Yorkshire museum, 1 in Leeds University, 2 in SCBI 30: American collections, 1 in the Bolton Percy hoard of 1847, 1 sold by Baldwin's in Sept 2005 (ex- B. Lowsley), and 1 in an American collection that has been published on the web.
