- GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of All England. Penny, ND (ca. 1016-23). Cambridge Mint; Leofsige, moneyer. Cnut. PCGS MS-64. S-1157; N-781. Quatrefoil (BMC viii) type. Obverse: + CNVT REX ΛNGLORV, crowned and draped bust left within quatrefoil; Reverse: + LE-OFS-IG M GRΛ, voided long cross, with triple-crescent ends and pellet at center; all over quatrefoil. Incredibly sharp and robust, this alluringly toned specimen has the appearance of something only recently struck and not that of a millennium prior. Worthy of a strong bid and increased focus. A Danish king, Cnut was able to unify the Kingdoms of England and Denmark. A brutal leader, Cnut wished to maintain strong links between Denmark and England to increase his powerbase as leader of a seafaring people. Cnut was able to wield excise influence over the Catholic Church and though his unification of Denmark and England would not last, he is remembered as a powerful leader in his time. Estimate: $800 - $1,200. Provenance: From the Paul C. Runze Collection (purchased from York Coins). To view all items from the Paul C. Runze Collection, click here.
