Wigmund (archbishop of York)

Wigmund was a medieval Archbishop of York, who was consecrated in 837 and died in 854.

[1] During the ninth century, both kings of Northumbria and archbishops of York minted styca coinage.

[2] The historian Stewart Lyon estimated that Wigmund produced coinage from between 837 and 846.

[3] The coins issued by Wigmund were minted by a number of moneyers, including Aethelweard, Hunlaf and Coenred.

[2] Unique and separate from the copper-alloy, mass-produced stycas, is a gold solidus, produced by Wigmund potentially as an ecclesiastical gift.
