Silver, Sweyn Forkbeard, Tracing, Denmark, 995

Silver, Sweyn Forkbeard, Tracing, Denmark, 995.

SLAEG-beard, TUE-two.

See my Danish Svend Tueskaeg coin for the much harder to read original of this tracing and a forkbeard pic.

Obverse, Sven, King of Danes.

Reverse, Godwine, Moneyer of Danes. The P in his name is actually the Anglo-Saxon Runic Wyn-W-character.

Text, reverse and obverse alternate every 20 seconds.

Based on the work of Master Programmer Furmaniac.
