ANGLO-SCANDINAVIAN COINS Catalogued in numerical order of the Malmer obverse number (CNS(NS) 4 and CNS(NS) 9. Only the first and last letter is given for blundered legends. For rarity, the number of specimens in Malmer is quoted, though to be sure the vast majority of specimens are in museums, which is hardly a guide to the number in the market. Malmer gives cross references to articles by Blackburn, Jonsson and others (see Bibliography) THE SIGTUNA COINAGE (c.995-c.1005) (CNS 4)
