Drawing and writing by Lucy aged 10
The picture of the man is King Alfred, who was king from AD871 to AD899. He has a band tied around his head and is wearing a decorated outfit. The writing says 'Alfred Rex' which meant King Alfred. The writing on the other side says 'Tilevi nem on' which means Tilevine made the coin. The letters in the middle say 'Londi' which means London.
