Anglo Saxon 'Coiled Wolf' Coins

HANDMADE REPRODUCTION

Anglo Saxon 'sceattas' are small silver coins from 8th century southern England. This one is of a stylized 'coiled wolf' with curled tongue, which has some fierce dragon-like features.

Very little is known about these mysterious little coins, including which tribes struck them and for what purpose. Christian imagery on many suggest that some may have been minted by bishops or abbots.
