Aethelred II (978-1016), silver Penny, CRVX type (c.991-997), Southampton Mint, Moneyer Isegel, draped bust left with sceptre, linear circle and legend surrounding, commences at top, +ÆÐELRED REX ANGLORV ligatured, rev. voided cross within linear circle, CRVX letters in consecutive angles, +ISCGEL M-O HAIIPI, weight 1.73g (N.770; S.1148). Toned, one hairline surface crack on obverse showing partly through on reverse, otherwise a bold to good very fine and a rare mint.
The Latin legends translate as "Aethelred King of the English" on obverse and "Isegel of Southampton" on the reverse, the letters around the central cross mean "cross."
The port of Southampton lies just over ten miles south of Winchester on a peninsular formed by the Rivers Test and Itchen. It was twice plundered by the Danes in 842 and 980 respectively, and they wintered there in 994 which falls into the window of time when this coin was thought to be struck.
