That's a nice coin , here in Britain that would be of the Saxon period at around 900 AD.
I have found Celtic , Roman and Medieval but no Saxon yet.

Look on Gary's detecting forum in Britain and see what was found on a Weekend Wanderers dig last December 21st . Some lucky Devil found 5500 Saxon Silver Pennies of the King's Ethelred and Knut period , they are likely to be worth well over £1000000 .
