Comment
Kings of All England (924-973), Eadmund (939-946), Crowned bust type, Norwic (Norwich) mint; uncertain moneyer.Interesting fact
The Eadmund Penny, also known as the "Silver Penny," was minted during the reign of King Eadmund (939-946) and is considered one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the history of England. It's believed that only about 100 of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors. In fact, in 2010, one of these coins was sold at an auction for a whopping £180,000! That's roughly equivalent to $230,000 USD.
