Comment
Malmer 503.1604.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was imitating Æthelred II, who was the King of England from 978 to 1016. This coin was minted during his reign and was used as a form of currency in Sweden. Despite being a copy of an English coin, it still holds significant historical value and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
