From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone, 9 January 2009. Ex T.L. Taylor (Baldwin’s 57, 24 September 2008), lot 367.

Harold I Harefoot, son of Cnut the Great and his first wife Aelgifu of Northampton, was acclaimed King by the Anglo-Danish nobility headed by Godwin, Earl of Wessex in 1037. Harthacnut was preoccupied battling Magnus the Good of Norway to secure his claim to the English throne until the premature death of Harold Harefoot in 1040. Harold’s pennies (with two successive types) were minted for a period of three years.
