Mark Blackburn, Keeper of Coins and Medals at the Fitzwilliam Museum, recorded four examples in museums, with fewer than five further specimens believed to be in private hands. The more common type depicts Cnut holding a scepter topped by a Fleur De Lis. The moneyer responsible for this type, Brihtred, was active from 1016-1087 during the reigns of Cnut, Edward the Confessor and William I. Therefore, it is plausible that the name Brihtred could refer to multiple individuals. Under Cnut, Brihtred was associated with two southern mints: Chichester and Winchester. Located approximately 30-40 miles apart, it would not have been unreasonable for an official to travel between these two minting facilities on a regular (or semi-regular) basis.
