“ ST. PETER ” COINS. 
from York. A coin (86) minted by Eadmund, a moneyer of 
Chester or Leicester, has a church shown on the reverse. The 
church has been described as “ the lofty facade of a Saxon Minster 
and probably that of York.” A similar device is on a coin by the 
moneyer Irfara (87). A coin minted by Ulfgar (88) shows a west 
end, with nave and side aisles. The Y.P.S. does not possess an 
example of these ‘church’ coins. 
ReDEWALD. 928-931. WuLFSTAN. 93I - 956. 
Two of Athelstan's moneyers, Regnald and Adelbert, set a 
building on tbe reverse. This edifice has also been referred to as 
that of York Minster. 
The archiepiscopal “ St. Peter ” coins (83-84-85) have a connec¬ 
tion with the coins of Kings Eric and Regnald. They comprise 
heavy and light silver pennies. The former are of five types, of 
which three depict swords, while one has the “ Carolus monogram ” 
on the reverse, and the other scie with cross, and EBORAC on 
the reverse. One of the latter was found at the corner of Walmgate 
and Paver Lane in April, 1856. 
One type of Regnald’s coins bears on the obverse a representa¬ 
tion of the hand from heaven.

Rebellions and Danish incursions kept Northumbria in a state of 
turmoil, so that in 972 when Oswald, bishop of Worcester, became 
Archbishop of York, it was felt necessary for the maintenance of 
the northern primacy that the southern bishopric of Worcester 
should be united with York, and this continued until 1016. It is 
likely that minting by the Archbishops was maintained, for 
amongst the privileges which came to the first Norman Arch¬ 
bishop of York was that of two mints in York.
