"Only one specimen has hitherto been recorded of Wulfred's Second Monogram (Ecgbeorht) type (BLS no. 19). The reverse reading is very puzzling, but should perhaps be seen as +SVAEFH . .; although it must be said that the T seems clear enough. No other moneyer than Swefheard is known, and one would have to postulate the very brief activity, late in Wulfred's pontificate, of a moneyer with an otherwise unrecorded name. For pellets added to the monogram, cf. a coin of Ecgbeorht of the same reverse type, BMA 374."
