21 specimens known.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Æthelred II (Agnus Dei type) Penny is that it features a unique design element known as a "Long Cross" or "Cross Fleury," which is a cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends. This design was used on coins during Æthelred's reign (978-1016) and was meant to symbolize the king's Christian faith.
