Got this from my coin club... I do not have any details but was told it is from Northumbria

1.24 grams, ~12mm
seems to be bronze

Northumbrian Styca. Looks genuine. I think the left picture has the legend +EANRED, but I am having trouble with the right one (...ADVTE...? Aldates, perhaps?) The trouble is that Eanred can be a king (810-841) or a moneyer. See Spink 862 and 867. Also, the description of Spink 872 is vague enough to cover anything you can't read.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thank you Peter! That gives me something to research  :)

Here is a similar but not identical one - EÐILRED REX (king Ethelred) / EADVVLF (moneyer).

That solves it perfectly. *sigh* This picture of a perfectly preserved coin was on WoC all the time.
