Sceat Series K

Series K sceattas circulated across both sides of the North Sea during a period of intensive Frisian-dominated trade, with the type found in quantity at Domburg and Dorestad — the great Frisian emporium destroyed by Viking raids in the ninth century. Whether struck in England or on the Continent remains genuinely contested; the distribution evidence points both ways, and no single mint site has been confirmed for the series.

At 0.91g, this piece sits at the lighter end of the Series K weight range, consistent with the gradual debasement and weight reduction documented across the later sceat period after roughly 740.
