Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized facing head rendered in the debased Anglo-Saxon manner, dominated by a large prominent eye set within a triangular nose-and-brow framework. The face is flanked by flowing hair strands depicted as curved relief lines descending to either side. A angular, geometric chin and neck area is ornamented with a saltire-like cross motif with pellets at its terminals. Multiple pellets are scattered throughout the field, and a beaded border encircles the entire design, characteristic of the Series Q sceat coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Series Q is among the more poorly understood sceat groups, likely produced somewhere in the southern English kingdoms during the first half of the eighth century, though a definitive mint attribution remains elusive. Variety IE sits within a cluster of related types distinguished primarily through die-study work, most systematically organized by D.M. Metcalf. The series as a whole circulated during a period when England had no unified monetary authority — coin production was fragmented across ecclesiastical and secular workshops operating with considerable independence.
