Comments

Early Anglo-Saxon period (600-775), Sceatta coinage (c.675-c.760), Eclectic Sceattas (c.710-c.760), 'Carip' group. Abr. 26

Eclectic sceattas are groups of types, related often by a common reverse motif (Triquetras, Celtic cross, interlace, saltire, annulet cross groups and Type 70) that do not easily fit into the main alphabetical classification of the secondary phase, even though there may be some features in common with or derived from the types therein.
