Obv.: Convex globular surface.
Rev.: Rectangular incuse punch.
Other than the literary tradition ascribing the origin of coinage to the kings of Lydia, there is little evidence for a more exact chronology of early Greek coinage. The tradition, buttressed by limited archaeological studies, does confirm Asia Minor as the place of origin, most likely Lydia or Ionia, and a date somewhere around 650 BC. The alloy used, a mixture of gold and silver known to the Greeks as elektron was based on the natural ore found in nugget form in many river-beds in the region. The earliest coins were of a globular shape and without design in imitation of this natural form; later, simple striated and punched patterns of squares, rectangles and swastikas were included.EX.NVMMIS

S.865 Æthelred II (Leofthegn)Styca of Æthelred II, king of Northumbria (first reign) 841-844
Moneyer: Leofthegn
Mint: York (presumably)
S. 865
Pirie 231, Phase II Group Ai
O: +EDELRED R
R: +LEOFDEJN
Motif: 1/6b
Ah, Leothegn, the most creative of the Northumbrian moneyers. He minted coin in great number, and was the most prolific moneyer of Æthelred II's first reign. He is not known to have coined for any other monarchs. Leofthegn is known for his "special motifs," select obverse and reverse designs that differ from the standard plain cross or group of pellets. Presumably he was given some artistic freedom by the king, which other moneyers seemed not to have. His various special designs include alpha, omega, saltire, swastika, bullseye circles, asterisk, and a remarkable design featuring a dismally drawn "hound" creature on the reverse. The hound, though not beautiful by the art standard of any generation, was nonetheless the first animal design to be found on Northumbrian coins since the time of Alchred almost a century earlier.
This coin is one of Leofthegn's more "boring" designs, featuring a bullseye of concentric circles on the reverse.
