S.865 Æthelred II (double obverse)

Styca of Æthelred II, king of Northumbria (first reign) 841-844
Moneyer: Unknown
Mint: York (presumably)
S. 865
O: +EDILRED RE
R: +EDILRED RE
Motif: 5/5

A coin of Æthelred II, which features a double obverse.

Double reverse coins are uncommon in the styca series, but do occasionally pop up. On the other hand, double obverse coins are relatively rare. This particular coin is of good style, meaning it was probably made from official dies rather than belonging to the chaotic irregular coins of the late 850s.
