A fragment, retaining the king's portrait and name, fine and extremely rare £120-£150 --- The obverse of this coin displays two of the defining characteristics of Pagan's group A; long fillet ties, and the extended ethnic '[ANG]LO'.

Here it is placed directly below the cross, as is normally the case on the group B dies. |  |
