Denier - Anund Jacob

Anund Jacob ruled Sweden at a moment when Scandinavian kingship was still consolidating around Christian institutions, and his coinage was almost entirely dependent on English die-cutters and monetary models — a direct consequence of the dense traffic between Sweden and Anglo-Saxon England during the late Viking period. These deniers follow Æthelred II and Cnut's penny types so closely that attribution to Swedish rather than English production long confused early catalogers.

Minting was centered at Sigtuna, the only Swedish town with anything resembling an organized mint at this date.
