| Lot description: Edward the Confessor Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), Pyramids type [BMC XV; BEH I], Penny, Sudbury, Folcwine, +eadpard rex, three extra pellets in the field, one behind the king's head and the others by the sceptre base, rev. +folfpi[–]on svð:, small wedge-shaped pellets on the inner circle of the first and fourth quarters, 1.23g/12h (Bt 32, this coin; Parsons –; Freeman –; BMC –). A little striking weakness, otherwise very fine, strong portrait; the mint previously unattested in this type and excessively rare thus £400-£500 --- Struck from the same dies as Braintree 33-5 The mint of Sudbury was previously unrecorded in this type; it is now known from two Pennies and two Halfpennies, all of which are offered for sale here. It is curious that the obverse die used to strike these coins have been 'marked' by the addition of pellets in the field; similar marks occur on the obverse die assigned to this moneyer in the following type, Harold's PAX (Braintree 105-109). |  |
