PENNY OF SIHTRIC II [Back Side] - Graphite Coin Mold

Description

A series of “Hiberno-Norse” rulers (which refers to Vikings who had settled in Ireland) issued some remarkable coins at York. The rare penny of Sihtric II (ruled 921- 927) bore a sword on the front, and an image of the Mjölnir hammer of the Norse god Thor, on the reverse. The garbled inscription indicates that the artisans who engraved the dies were illiterate.
