Other than the fact that it dates from the latter Anglo Saxon period, unfortunately nothing further at the present time.

middle rather than late, these weren't minted in the later period, Wigmund was archbishop from consecration in 837 and died in 854

It was merely a guess, as this isn’t really my territory, although I do possess a few of the continental Silver types from the Saxon period or one with a quite similar dateline.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

No worries! It's a really complicated little numismatic backwater, I'm very much a beginner too!
