Sceat - Aelfwald I

Aelfwald I ruled Northumbria for roughly a decade before being murdered in 788, an event the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records with unusual specificity — killed at Scythlescester by a nobleman named Sicga. His coinage is notably sparse, and attributions within the Northumbrian sceatta series remain contested; North 181 encompasses a small group of issues tied to his reign largely on stylistic and chronological grounds rather than explicit inscription evidence.

By this period Northumbrian silver was already debasing, and later issues from the kingdom would abandon silver almost entirely for base-metal stycas within decades.
