Later period, after the battle of Brunanburh, 937 (939-954), Anlaf Guthfrithsson (939-941), Flower type, struck at the York mint.
This remarkable coin was struck at York by the well attested northeastern moneyer Ingelgar for Anlaf Guthfrithsson. The type is closely related in both style and artistic accomplishment to the popular and very rare floral issue of Edward the Elder (Sp#1078) struck by Heremod at the northwestern mint of Chester
