Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Styca - Eanred (810-830) from Kingdom of Northumbria (Kingdoms of British Isles and Frisia) made of Silver (base) weighing 0.77 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the king, Eanred, while the reverse side features a cross surrounded by four birds, which is a common motif in early medieval coinage. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Northumbria during this period.
