The early Viking coins types were imitations of established Anglo-Saxon coins. Read more about Viking Coinage.
The silver penny of East Anglia is a copy of an Anglo-Saxon coin of St Edmund Penny; the front shows Alpha with inscription and the reverse shows a cross with inscription. The link between issuing coins and Christian kingship is clear in the coinage of Viking rulers in England. The coins struck in Viking-held England, called "the Danelaw", carry both Christian and Viking pagan symbols. The Cunnetti silver penny of the Northern Danelaw penny of Cnut shows CNVT REX on the front with a cross and crosslet. The reverse shows EMBRAICE CIVITAS with a small crosslet. The Northern Danelaw penny of Siegfried shows SIEVERT REX on the front with a cross and crosslet while the reverse again shows EMBRAICE CIVITAS in contractions.
Not all designs of Viking coins are exclusively Christian. The Viking coin of Olaf Guthfrithsson of York displays a bird on the front and is inscribed ANLAF CVNVNC (Old Norse for King Olaf). The reverse shows a cross. The bird is often identified as Odin''s raven. The front of the York silver penny of Eric Bloodaxe displays ERIC REX in two lines with a sword between. The reverse shows a small cross. Read more about Eric Bloodaxe.
