Comment
Anglo-Saxon middle period (c.780-973), Kings of Mercia (757-880), Coelwulf I (821-823), East Anglia mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny - Ceolwulf I (East Anglia) (821-823) from Kingdom of Mercia (Kingdoms of British Isles and Frisia) made of Silver weighing 1.37 g is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of Ceolwulf I on the obverse (front) side, and a cross with four pelicans on the reverse (back) side. This design was a departure from the traditional Roman-style designs used on previous Mercian coins and may have been influenced by contemporary Carolingian coinage.
