Gold mancus of Ethelred II, minted in Lewes, southern England, Anglo-Saxon, 1003-16. Diam: 2.0cm, W: 3.51g. Inv. CM 1883,0516.1. The condition of the coin's surface shows that the dies were already rusty when the coin was produced. This suggests a currency coin, since more care would probably be taken with a presentation or offering piece.
