Description
Own a Piece of Anglo-Saxon History.
This stunning plaque is a faithful, enlarged reproduction of a silver penny issued during the reign of King Alfred the Great (871-899 AD). This specific coin, struck between 875 and 880, is significant as one of the earliest to depict the head of an English king, a bold statement of authority that shaped future British coinage.
Celebrate the King Who Saved England
Alfred is the only English monarch honored with the title “The Great” because he fundamentally changed the course of British and world history. By holding back the pagan Scandinavian (Viking) invaders, establishing fortified towns, and laying the groundwork for the unification of Great Britain, he secured the future of the English language and culture. This plaque is a tribute to his legacy as a warrior, scholar, and true founder of the English nation.
