Średni okres anglosaski (ok. 780-973), monety anglo-wikingów (885-954), monety królestwa Yorku (ok. 895-920)

Około 3000 srebrnych groszy noszących imię Knuta znajdowało się w skarbie Cuerdale, znalezionym w pobliżu Preston w hrabstwie Lancashire w 1840 roku. Sugerowana data pochówku tej skarby to ok. 905 r., wkrótce po wypędzeniu Wikingów z Dublina. To, kim był Cnut i gdzie panował, pozostaje w sferze domysłów.

Anglo-Saxon Middle Period (c.780-973), Anglo-Viking Coinages (885-954), Coinages of the Viking Kingdom of York (c.895-920)

Some 3,000 silver pennies bearing Cnut's name were in the Cuerdale hoard, found near Preston, Lancashire in 1840. The date suggested for the burial of this hoard is c. 905, soon after the Vikings were expelled from Dublin. Who Cnut was and where he reigned are matters of conjecture.
