Description
Early Anglo-Saxon. Post-Crondall Period gold Thrymsa ND (655-675) AU53 NGC, S-767, N-20 (VR), Metcalf-79-80, EMC-2019.0002 (this coin). 1.02gm. Two Emperors type. Diademed bust right, cross on stand above "VAИ" before, chevron-barred "A" behind / Two facing busts holding orb; above, winged figure of Victory enfolds them. Discovered in Old Harlow, Essex in December 2018. Early Thrymsas were imitations of Merovingian tremisses or earlier Roman coins, and at first were struck containing a high gold content; however, by the time of the mintage of this piece, their metallic content had been debased to less than 35% gold. The result is a not unpleasant pale golden color, slightly silvery but markedly different in appearance from the more commonly encountered Sceattas of the period. An intriguing piece.Metal: EL
Diameter: 12.5mm
