EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Penny of AEthelred II, minted in London in 978. The silver coin, with a diameter of 19 cm, is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Crafted by Ealdgar during his time as a skilled artist and engraver, this artifact provides us with an intriguing glimpse into early medieval British history. The obverse side of the coin features a striking profile portrait of King AEthelred II himself. Clad in armor and wearing an intricately designed helmet, he exudes regal authority and power. The inscription "+aLRaD REX 0A LA-" further emphasizes his royal status. On the reverse side, we find another intricate design: "+E0L DAR MA- LVND". This carefully crafted monetary symbol represents not only currency but also serves as a testament to AEthelred II's reign and influence over England during that era. Discovered at Grantchester in Cambridgeshire, this numismatic treasure offers valuable insights into Anglo-Saxon culture and society. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document that sheds light on the significance of coinage during AEthelred II's rule. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for capturing this remarkable piece from the Fitzwilliam Museum's collection so beautifully through their lens.
