Continental Sceat (LEIC-901FF1)

A possible Danish silver sceat found near Wigston Parva, Leicestershire

This silver Continental sceat is possibly part of Seaby 843 Series X which are considered to be associated with the early trading center at Ribe. It is very likely that they made their way to England by means of Vikings.
