Early Anglo-Saxon (600-775), Eclectic Sceattas (c.710-c.760), Series T related from the Upper Thames area. Abr. (Sceatta List) 24-40, M. p.435-6.
This obverse is also found with other reverses: a degenerate ‘porcupine’ head left; or triquetra cross (S 824), and with the legend DE LVNDONIA on the obverse and SCORVM on the reverse (S824A, Abr. SL 24-50, 25-50). Related to Abr. SL 110-90.
Eclectic sceattas are groups of types, related often by a common reverse motif (Triquetras, Celtic cross, interlace, saltire, annulet cross groups and Type 70) that do not easily fit into the main alphabetical classification of the secondary phase, even though there may be some features in common with or derived from the types therein.
