'In Edmund's reign the only mint producing the (Bust Crowned) type that is certainly identifiable is Norwich. A number of previous attributions are rejected in Blunt, but the possibility that the name of Bedford is intended on one or two of his coins must remain. The general impression created is that in Edmund's reign the Bust Crowned type was essentially connected with the eastern part of the country.' (CTCE p.191)
