- Exceptionally Provenanced Penny of Aethelwulf GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of Wessex. Penny, ND (844-49). Canterbury Mint; Leofa, moneyer. Aethelwulf. PCGS AU-55. S-1047; N-610. First Portrait type. Obverse: + EÐELVVLF REX, diademed and mantled bust right, breaking inner circle; Reverse: + LIΛBΛ MONETA, cross-crosslet. This VERY RAREtype is seldom encountered so attractive, presenting excellent features and a sharp strike, along with hardly anything in the way of handling. Rather conservatively graded as such, and undoubtedly a premium-quality piece and one of the most alluring that one can ever hope to discover. Father to Alfred the Great, Aethelwulf was able to hold off Viking encroachment well enough as ruler of Wessex, a portion of the South of England. Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000. Provenance: From the Paul C. Runze Collection. Ex: Dr. Jacob Y. Terner Collection (where it was graded as NGC MS-61). Ex: Richard Cyril Lockett Collection (#469). Ex: Henry Muskett Reynolds Collection (#10). To view all items from the Paul C. Runze Collection, click here. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
