Pagan (1982), notes: "Alongside coins in Eadmund’s name by moneyers such as Aethelhelm, Beornferth, Eadmund and (A)ethelwulf, struck on broad flans and employing a range of types echoing those in use under Aethelweard, there is a series by the moneyers Baeghelm, Beornhaeh, Eadberht, and Sigered, on which the obverse type is always the letter A and the coins are struck on flans of reduced size. Coins of the first group mentioned have the obverse legend EADMVND REX AN and coins of the second group the legend EADMVND REX."
