ARCH I EPISCOPAL COINS. 
Eanbald II. 796—808. 
From the time of Eanbald II., the moneyer’s name appears on 
the reverse of the coin (80). He issued silver and copper coins, 
on which his title is given variously as : AR, ARE, AREP. He 
had three moneyers, namely, Cunwulf, Eadwulf, and Edilveard. 
No coins are known of Wulfsige. 
« 
VlGMUND. 837 — 854. 
Vigmund issued gold, silver, and copper coins (81). The gold 
coin bears a full-faced bust, and resembles the gold solidus of Louis 
le Debonaire, and has the same reverse ‘ MUNUS DIVINUM.’ 
His moneyers were: Coenred, Eardwulf, Edelhelm, Edilveard, 
Erwinne, Hunlaf, and Vulfrid. The title is usually AREP, IR, 
or IREP. The Y.P.S. possesses 559 copper stycas of this Arch¬ 
bishop. 
WULFHERE. 834-9OI. 
Wulfhere, under the Anglians, issued copper stycas (82). His 
moneyers were Eardulf and Wulfred. The inscriptions are retro¬ 
grade. The Y.P.S. have 59 stycas. 
The Viking Kingdom of York. 
Archbishop Wulfere, who fled from York on its capture by the 
Danes is said to have not returned until seven years later. He 
may have been the means of converting to Christianity Guthred, 
King of York. Guthred on becoming a Christian appears to have 
adopted the name of Cnut. 1 The coins struck by Cnut bear on 
the obverse either a cross, a cross-crosslet, or a patriarchal cross, 
and on the reverse ‘ Ebraice Civitas.’ The reverses of a number 
of silver pennies of Cnut and his successors Sievert and Alvald 
bear the inscriptions MIRABILIA FECIT (He hath done 
marvellous things), or DNS. DS. REX for Dominus Deus Rex, 
and these coins, it is very probable, were issued by the Arch¬ 
bishops during the Viking regime. A silver penny of Alvard 
bearing DNS. DS. REX. was found with a solid mass of copper 
stycas at York about i860, and realised /"6i at the “ Rashleigh ” 
sale. 
Ethelbald. 901—928. 
A copper styca bearing EDELB AP was found at Hexham in 
1832, but its present whereabouts is unknown. 
In 921, Regnald, the Viking King of York, submitted to Edward 
the Elder. Edward asserted his authority by an issue of coins 
1 In the Cuerdale Find were 2534 coins bearing the name of CNVT.
