Three Early-Medieval silver coins of Anglo Saxon Kings, the Cambridgeshire County Council, c. 852-874.
Three coins of the ninth-century Anglo-Saxon rulers, King Aethelred of Wessex (r. 865-871) and King Burgred of Mercia (r. 852-874). The coin on the right is of Aethelred and the other two coins are of Burgred. The two men were brothers-in-law and allies who fought against the Viking invasion of Britain.
