Silver pennies of Ethelred II. Cissbury, West Sussex, AD 978-1016. - These coins of Ethelred II's 'Last Small Cross' type were struck from the same pair of dies, issued in the name of the moneyer Ciolnoth of Cissbury. We can see from these coins that the design was struck onto square flans. Afterwards the coins were trimmed to the right shape, and the edges smoothed with repeated gentle hammering. Untrimmed coins like this are rarely found in England, because they would not normally have been issued.
