Anglo Saxon Hammered Coins For Sale From the Reigns of King Offa (757 AD) Through to Edward the Martyr (978 AD)
A mainly turbulent period in English history with much conflict between the Kingdoms of Northumberland, Wessex, Mercia, Anglia and Kent. This resulted in many Kings and Chiefs issuing coins some of whom are only known to history through their coins. The Viking raids also occurred during this period resulting in longer periods of settlement and issue of their own coinage. A diverse and fascinating numismatic history was the result.
