Coin of Alfred drawn by Sharnae age 10

Drawing by Sharnae age 10 and writing by Lucy age 10

To make this coin a piece of silver was hammered flat and a circle cut out. It was then placed on a flat surface and a stamp with the design on it was than placed ontop of the metal disc. The moneyer hit the stamp hard with a hammer and the design was then imprinted on the coin.

We know this coin was made by a moneyer caller Tilevine in London since it says this on the coin.
