North classifies this coin as very rare.

This is a fantastic silver Anglo Saxon Sceatta. It is a North Series K Type. North Vol 1, Number 93. North places this coin in the mid to late part of the secondary phase of Sceattas, 710 – 750 AD and associates it with the Canterbury, Abingdon and Huiccia mints. The coin measures 11.3mm in diameter and 1.6mm in thickness. It weighs approximately 1 gram. The museum has dated it to 720 – 750 AD.

Obverse:- A diademed bust facing right, holding a long cross to the right. The bust appears cruder than the illustration in North, with wilder hair and less well defined features.

Reverse:- A wolf’s head with a prominent eye and tongue coming out and curling back.
