" * By others the mancus is supposed to have been of gold ; and Mr. Turner thinks that both gold and silver were used in exchanges in an uncoined state. F It is certain that mention is repeatedly made of pay- ments in gold. It is agreed that the penny, the halfpenny, the farthing, and the triens (if that was a coin) were all of silver ; and that tlie styca was of copper, or of that metal with an alloy. In fact, no Saxon coins have yet been discovered except some of those last mentioned. Of penn...ies and stycas some large hoards have been found within these few years. In April, 1817, a wooden box was turned up by a ploughman in a field near Dorking, in Surrey, which contained nearly seven hundred Saxon pennies, principally of the coinages of Ethelwulf, the son and successor of Egbert, and of Ethelbert, the father of Alfred, but partly also of those of preceding kings of Wessex, of Mercia, and of East-Anglia. J Eighty-three silver coins of King Ethelred, and two of his father. King Edgar, were found in 1820, by a peasant while digging a woody field in Bolstads Socked, in Sweden, and are now deposited in the Royal Cabinet of Anti- quities at Stockholm.
