Any idea of the year?

Aethelred II (A.D. 978 - 1016)
He succeeded to the throne after the murder of his half-brother, Edward the Martyr, at the age of ten. His was a rather long and ineffective reign, which was notable for little other than the payment of the Danegeld, an attempt to buy off the Viking invaders with money. The relentless invasions by the Danish Vikings, coupled with their ever-escalating demands for more money, forced him to abandon his throne in 1013. He fled to Normandy for safety, but was later recalled to his old throne at the death of Svein Forkbeard in 1014. He died in London in 1016.

Reply to Vercingetorix,

Excellent name by the way, I have a coin which I bought that you maybe interested in (see picture) It depicts Vercingetorix head on a Roman Denarius with a Celtic chariot on reverse. L. Hostilius Saserna, denarius, (48 BC, S312; Cr. 448/3)

In answer to your question on the reverse of my saxon coin see pictures further down.

Your finds are fantastic, dugup. I gotta get over there someday to find one or two of those oldies. Keep on diggin', but save me a couple, please.

dugupfinds this coin looks just great

I knew a Celtic coin had been found in France a few years ago . I think it was a gold stater bearing the effigy of vercingetorix on the obverse and it was sold a great... great deal of money ( 60 000 $ ) but I didn't know a silver denarius depicting Vercingetorix like yours would exist . how much did you buy it ?

you are so fortunate to be able to record your finds to the autorities .Here in France they'd just throw you in jail for hunting without any administrative permission ...that sucks ...
