You don't find many Saxon Coins - they are relatively hard to find. So to find a Saxon Gold Coin is always something special. This beauty was found by a fellow detectorist who lives in Leeds. It was found with a Minelab Explorer 11 Metal Detector Near Beverly.
It weighs approx 1.2g and is a rare York group shilling (thrymsa*) of the 7th century AD
Lovely Coin. Well Done Rich.
