Comment
No mint marks or moneyer.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Sihtric Silkbeard, who was a Viking king of Dublin and ruled from 1042 to 1046. The coin features a scratched die, which suggests that it may have been minted using a damaged or worn-out die, which was a common practice during this time period. Despite its scratched die, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance as a piece of currency from the Hiberno-Norse Kingdom of Dublin.
