Moneyer: Sæwine. Hairline split in flan. Exceptionally well-preserved with all runes clearly legible, a pleasant grey toning and remnants of original luster.

A similar practice is commonly found on Viking Age runestones. Estimate: €2,000 - €3,000. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection. To view supplemental information and all items from the L.E.
