The New Murrey and Blue blog

Here is a BBC article about two men who discovered, in 2015, a hoard of Anglo-Saxon coins in Herefordshire and chose to conceal them, leading to two collectors being convicted in Durham. The two-headed coins depicted Alfred together with his Mercian colleague, Ceolwulf II, about whom they are highly informative. Ceolwulf had previously been thought of as a Viking puppet but these exhibits show that Alfred is likely to have considered him as an equal.
