Eanred AR Sceat – Phase Ib – + EARED RX around small cross – HEARDALF around small cross – Spink 860 – Pirie 96–97 – early high-silver issue attributed to Alfheard

WS 7849

EANRED. 810–841 AD. AR Sceat. Phase Ib. + EARED RX around small cross. HEARDALF (Heardwulf / Wulfheard / Alfheard) around small cross. Spink 860. Pirie, Coins of the Kingdom of Northumbria nos. 96–97. Listed in Pirie as Hearduulf, which in its self can be listed as Wulfheard. On this coin I'm with Abramson (see Abramson C97, C95, K60). He lists this as the moneyer Alfheard. Which corresponds closest to the reverse legend. Also the silver quality of this coin is high for an Eanred. So I suspect this to be one of his first issues, and as such, a rare piece.
