Styca of Eanred, king of Northumbria 810-841
Moneyer: Daegberct
Mint: York (presumably)
S. 862
Pirie unlisted, Phase Ib
O: +EANRED REX
R: +DAEGBERCT
Motif: 1/1
Daegberct was one of Eanred's earlier moneyers. His coins are scarce, and mostly a silver billon composition. This particular coin however is a copper styca, suggesting that Daegberct may have coined for some time. He is not known to have coined for Eanred's predecessors or successors.
This coin is very similar to Pirie 65-66, it looks like it was struck with the same obverse die, but the reverse is different than either of those coins.
