DENMARK. Svend II Estridsen, 1047-1075. Penny (Silver, 17 mm, 0.59 g), an imitation of a short cross penny of Cnut (1016-1035) and the helmet type of Aethelred II the Unready (978-1016), Viborg. ✠CP[...]IO Bare-headed and draped bust of Svend II Estridsen to left, holding lis-tipped scepter in his right hand. Rev. Voided long cross with pellet in center and triple crescent ends, over square with trefoil at each point; between triple crescent ends, blundered legend and ✠. Hauberg 65. A lovely imitation of rather crude style. The flan bent and straightened, otherwise, very fine.

This very interesting imitation combines an obverse of a short cross penny of Cnut with a reverse of a helmet type penny of Aethelred II the Unready
