Description:		A penny of Beornwulf of Mercia, struck at an uncertain mint in East Anglia. As found, the coin was folded completely in half. The coin is closely similar to EMC 1995.0136; in fact the two coins may share one or both dies, but confirmation is not possible due to distortion of the present coin. At the time of writing, they would appear to be the only known specimens of their type. The initial letter 'B' of the king's name has been omitted on both coins. Their reverse legends, although circumscriptions, are ordered in the manner of a two-line inscription, such that the first three letters of the moneyer's name and the last three letters are divided by crosses and read from left to right, rather than around the coin. In renderting the legend thus, the die-cutter has inverted both instances of the letter 'A', and seemingly entered an 'R' rather than a 'D' for the third letter.

Description:		A light coinage portrait penny of Offa of Mercia, struck at London, circa AD 765-792. The coin is a variety of Type 53 in Derek Chick's The Coinage of Offa and his Contemporaries, the obverse having square panelling on the bust, as Type 55e, rather than the distinctive curved shoulders described for Type 53.

Description:		Penny of Ludica of Mercia, struck by moneyer Eadgar at uncertain East Anglian mint. Part of flan missing. Coins of Ludica are extremely rare, and particularly the present type. In a corpus of the coins published in BNJ XXXII (1963) the total is just four, but at least three further examples have subsequently been recorded. Of the present type (North 399), however, there are possibly only three other known examples, two of which were struck by the moneyer Eadgar, and one by Eadnoth. Of the two struck by Eadgar, one is a variety without a beaded inner circle on the obverse, and the other a fragment which was previously attributed to Cuthred of Kent. (This is because the initial letter of the king's name is entered as C rather than L, and only the first two letters, CV, survive on the fragment.) The present coin is struck from different dies to any of the foregoing.

Description:		A light coinage portrait penny of Offa of Mercia, struck at London, circa AD 765-792. The UKDFD is grateful to Martin Allen for the following information: This is a new 'mule' between an obverse of Type 47 and reverse of Type 44 in Derek Chick's The Coinage of Offa and his Contemporaries. Chick lists only one coin of this reverse type, from the 1992 Aiskew hoard. Cf. EMC: 1992.7637, 2007.0165 and 2018.0028 (Decorative motifs in reverse angles differ from those on the present coin.)
