One of the largest “finds” of Anglo-Saxon coins was made at Cuerdale, where, along with a vast number of foreign pieces, there were found:-- 2 of Æthelred. 24 of Æthelstan II. 1 of Ciolwulf. 857 of Alfred. 45 of Eadwerd. 1 of Abp. Ceolnoth. 59 of Abp. Plegmund. 2 of Sitric. 1770 of St. Eadmund. etc. Under the ordinary order of arrangement, the following may be taken as indications of the coins of Anglo-Saxon rulers:-- _KINGS OF KENT._ ÆTHILBERHT I., 725-764. The _sceat_ attributed to this king is doubtful. EGCBERHT, 765-791. The name is found as EGCBERHT RX. and on the _reverse_ is the moneyer’s name. EADBEARHT, 794-798. _Obverse_, the name EADBEARHT REX in three lines across the field. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name with device. CUTHRED, 798-805. _Obverse_, on some a profile bust, others three arms branching out from the inner circle, and extending through the legend, CVDRED REX or CVDRED REX CANT. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name with similar device or cross, etc. BALDRED, 805-823. _Obverse_, bust or cross within inner circle, BALDRED, BELDRED, or BEALDRED REX CN or CANT. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name, cross, etc. One of his coins has on the _reverse_ DIORMOD MONETA, and within the inner circle, in two lines, DRVR CITS for _Dorovernia Civitas_ or city of Canterbury, and is the earliest known instance of place of mintage appearing upon Saxon coins. _MERCIAN KINGS._ OFFA, 757-796. [Illustration] The coins of Offa are of great variety in type, of considerable beauty in design, and of better workmanship than most of the Saxon pennies. On the _obverse_ is the name OFFA REX, or REX M, or REX MERCIORN. _Reverse_, various crosses and other devices and moneyer’s name. Of these upwards of fifty are known, and some of them used Runic letters. CYNEFRYTH. Coins of this queen (supposed to be the wife of Offa) are known, and bear on one side the bust and moneyer’s name; on the other her name and REGINA. COENVVLF, 794-818. The coins bear a marked resemblance to those of Offa, but are inferior in execution. The name is usually COENVVLF REX, with or without M for Mercia, and on the _reverse_ the moneyer’s name, and often the word MONETA. Upwards of fifty moneyers are known. CEOLVVLF I., 819. [Illustration] The appropriation of coins to this king is conjectural. The name occurs as CIOLVVLF or CEOLVVLF REX M, or MI or MCI or MERCI. BEORNVVLF, 820-824. _Obverse_, BEORNVVLF or BEORNWVLF REX, REX M, etc., with bust. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name. LUDICA or LUDICAN, 824, 825. _Obverse_, LVDICA REX or RX, ME with bust. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name, with cross, etc. WIGLAF, 825-839. _Obverse_, VVIGLAF REX M and bust. _Reverse_, moneyer’s name, with cross. BERTHVVLF, 839-852.
