York Ethelred imitation ?

[Carsten 1]

Hallo England

I hope someone can help me with ID on this coin. The danish forum 'Detektor Danmark' think it could be a York Ethelred imitation, hammered by Knud den Store/Canute the Great. Can anyone help ?

No idea from me, but someone will be along shortly, don't worry.

Welcome!

I've controlled on Spink ' s Coins of England and I have to say that the portrait is very similar to Aethelred's ( especially in type 1151 ) , but others elements are different .. Your coin has a easier style , the cross is very simple and legends are shorter than normal coins .. in my little , I think that the idea of an imitation could be right ...

It is a very interesting coin

Could it be Irish? Hiberno Norse

I have been looking at Hiberno Norse, but no one fits with the cross.....

It's a Scandinavian issue in the imitative style of Aethelred II's Longcross issue.

This is the English issue:

Try and get your hands on some of Brita Malmer's work as that will have it in if it's an official issue and not a Baltic/Scandinavian contemporary forgery/imitation.

Thanks for trying heleping me with ID!

I have been studing some of Brita Malmers works, and some of her coin footage almost looks like my coin. But I can't find any one with that type of cross.

Now I deliver the coin to the danish museeum, as the low says - then I have an answer in to to tre years :(They will probably say it's a imitation. If I get a useful answer I will post it in this topic.
