  Thetford mint, Circa 1016–1035 AD

Numismatically interesting and exact to the original coin it was cast from.

Cnut (1016-1035), , quatrefoil type, Thetford Mint, Moneyer Waelgist, 

Obverse: crowned and draped bust left within quatrefoil, legend commences at bottom, +CNVT REX ANGLORVI, outer beaded circle surrounding both sides,

The original of this 19mm diameter coin was struck from dies of mid “Lincoln” style as defined by Blackburn and Lyon in their article “Regional Die-Production in Cnut’s Quatrefoil Issue” chapter 13 of Anglo-Saxon Monetary History. These dies therefore cut at Lincoln and supplied for use to strike coinage in Thetford.
