Blackburn and A. Gillis, 'A Second Coin of King Eardwulf of Northumbria and the Attribution of the Moneyer Coins of King Ælfwald', British Numismatic Journal 67 (1997), pp. 97-9, pl. 24, 3. For third coin see A. G. & S. Gillis # WS 6340. New obverse die which shows the bar above the R for REX. Interestingly all four are from the same moneyer but different reverse dies.
