Great Britain. Penny, ND. S.1113. Eadred, 946-955. Small cross. Reverse: Moneyer's name (Grimes) in two lines. Another superbly well struck Anglo Saxon Penny, with a nice tone. PCGS graded AU-55.

Eadred's reign was relatively short. He was a son of Edward the Elder but lost the Kingdom of York to the colorfully nicknamed Eric (Haraldsson) 'Bloodaxe'. Eric (or Erick) had been King of Norway but had been expelled for his grotesque cruelty. It is alleged that he killed his seven brothers - a heinous crime even in Viking eyes.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
