	England. Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. 871-899. Penny

England. Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. 871-899. Penny, . 1.50g. No Date. Obv: ALFRED REX Right facing bust of Alfred the Great. Rx: Londonia monogram. Spink 1061. An exceptionally attractive and rare piece for this issue. Choice EF.

Ex Dr. John Gulick Collection.

Known for vehemently defending his kingdom against the Vikings and the Danes, Alfred also united various English Kingdoms under one rule. As a skillful military leader and a promoter of education, Alfred is the only English King to be given the epithet “Great.” This extremely rare piece is arguably one of the finest examples of this type.
