Hi all, this is my first time on this site today. i have recently found this silver

penny, I think it is Cnut but I am no expert in this type of coinage.

If anyone can help that would be great.

It's a CNUT quatrefoil penny, but I can't make out the moneyer or mint because the image is too fuzzy and partly off picture.

I've seen easier things to interpret, but I'll go for the following.

As there is no initial cross, I'm assuming that it is on the left side of the missing portion. Therefore, diametrically opposite after the cross arm is ON followed by what looks like [LV]NDE (London). This mint is by far the commonest for most issues, so a good punt. I can't make out the moneyer. What looks like S before the cross end I think could be a stop and a comma mark used a fillers because S is not a common letter at the end of a Saxon name. This would mean the name ends in RIC or INC which are both common endings. There could be the cross bar of an N in the picture. If London, the moneyers in North ending RIC or INC listed are Aelfric, Aethelric, Bruninc, Deorinc, Eadric, Godinc, Godric, Leofric, Lifinc, Swetinc and Wulfric. Given the missing portion has to fit into one quarter, a shorter name is likely.
