- GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of All England. Penny, ND (939-46). Mint in East Anglia; Fredard, moneyer. Eadmund. PCGS AU-53. S-1106; N-697. Bust Crowned (BMC vi) type. Obverse: +EΛDΛΛVN REX, crowned and draped bust right, breaking inner circle; Reverse: + FREDΛRD NONEIT, short cross pattee. Very well centered and struck, this specimen yields a tremendously pleasing and alluring portrait, all while retaining incredible originality and sporting a charming tone. Great quality for the type that is assuredly seldom encountered. Eadmund inherited a largely united England from his brother, but he still had to stabilize the country from internal and external threats. He beat off a Viking invasion of their former stronghold of York in 944. With a more stable political situation, religious concerns had taken precedence in England in the 10th century. Many of the secular married clergy of the monasteries were replaced with more pious representatives of Catholicism. While it is alleged that Eadmund died in a brawl, there is only one source that supports that claim, so it stands upon tenuous ground. Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000. Provenance: From the Paul C. Runze Collection. To view all items from the Paul C. Runze Collection, click here. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
