*Kings of Kent, Anonymous Portrait penny, c. 822-25, Canterbury, with moneyer’s name Swefherd on both sides, obv., bust right wearing bonnet, svvefherd moneta, rev., drvr cits in two lines within inner circle, legend starting at 9 o’ clock svvefherd monet, 1.37g (Naismith C55.3a, this coin; cf. N. 222/1; cf. S. 879), very fine, of the highest rarity and interest. Naismith discusses this coin at some length (p. 126, footnote 92), pointing out that it is evidently a mule between the ‘Anonymous Phase’ obverse portrait type and a reverse which became standard during the reign of Baldred (823-25). It may be observed that there is some evidence of die rust on the obverse of the piece, perhaps lending some weight to Naismith’s second suggestion that Swefherd used an old die as an emergency measure when a portrait die of Baldred broke.
