 SCBI 13-Copenhagen: 393(probable die match)SCBI 40-Stockholm: 95(probable die match); Both the North and Seaby/Spink volumes list this type as a posthumous issus for Cnut. Recent research has shown that the Jewell Cross coins with the name Cnut and those with the name Harthacnut were both issued simultainiously during the reign of Harthacnut. Those Jewel Cross pennies in the name of Cnut then are not a posthumous issue of Cnut. See two works by T. Talvio: "Harold I and Harthacnut’s Jewel Cross Type Reconsidered" Anglo-Saxon Monetary History(1986) and SCBI 40 Stockholm IV(1991); rare type with less than twenty in private hands.
