Full Description

[TQ 687 728] A penny of Coenwulf was found by K Saggers in a field at East Court Farm in April 1984. The reverse bears a cross potent, its arms taking the form of a concave sided lozenge with a similar lozenge within; there is a lozenge pellet in each angle. The reverse type does not appear in the Brtish Museum Catalogue but the coin was listed in Sotheby's Sale catalogue for 19th July 1984 where it is described as apparently only the second example and attributed to the Rochester Mint (c.820 AD) (1).
