| Additional information |
The "scratched die" designation refers to a documented variety within the later Hiberno-Norse series, where the working die shows deliberate or accidental incised marks distinguishable from normal flow lines or damage. Dublin's moneyers during this period were operating under increasingly local control — the tight link to English royal types that characterized earlier issues had loosened considerably by the 1050s, and the quality of die-cutting reflects it.
By this decade, Dublin coinage was effectively a civic currency rather than a royally supervised one, with Hiberno-Norse rulers maintaining the form of English penny types long after any meaningful administrative connection had dissolved.
