Note: this is a replica and not an original coin. Our coin is a copy and is not made of solid gold. In some rare cases the stamping is not perfect.

An Anglo-Saxon coin from Wessex from the time of King Coenwulf 805 ~ 810 CE. A mancus is equivalent to 30 pieces (pennies) of silver.

Weight: 14 grams
Size: 32mm Diameter

It depicts King Coenwulf of Mercia, who ruled much of modern England in the early ninth century. The original coin was discovered in 2001 and is one of only eight known gold coins from the mid to late Saxon period.

The reverse of the coin reads: "De Vico Lvndoniae" - from the trading place of London.

Coenwulf lived from 796-821 and his kingdom stretched from the Thames in the south to the Humber in the north and from the Welsh border to conquests in East Anglia and Kent. He was the most powerful single ruler in Britain at the time.

Excellent reproduction These coins are very high quality with a lovely patina that give them a great aged look. They look great as part of a display and would be impressive pulled out of a period pouch at any re-enactment.
