Coming Soon to Bygone Relics

Step back into 9th-century Anglo-Saxon England with this remarkable Æthelred II AE Styca, struck at the York Mint during his first reign (AD 841–843/4). This fascinating little copper-alloy coin was produced by the moneyer Alghere (Phase II, Group B) and is a genuine piece of Northumbrian history.

Stycas were the everyday currency of Viking Age Northumbria, circulating through the bustling streets of York over 1,180 years ago. Despite their small size, they carry incredible historical significance, connecting us to the kings, moneyers, and people of early medieval England.

This authentic Anglo-Saxon coin will be listing soon at Bygone Relics—perfect for collectors of ancient coins, medieval history, and rare historical artefacts.

🪙 From Dirt to History – The Magic of Roman Coins

At first glance, they look like nothing more than dirt-covered discs… but beneath centuries of soil lies nearly 2,000 years of history.

This video shows a handful of uncleaned Roman coins, followed by examples of what some can look like after careful cleaning. Every coin is different—some reveal emperors, soldiers, gods, and ancient inscriptions, while others keep their secrets forever.

Cleaning ancient coins is a delicate process. Done correctly, it can uncover incredible details, but done poorly, it can permanently damage the coin’s surface and value.

Which do you prefer—the mystery of an untouched Roman coin or the satisfaction of seeing history revealed?

✨ A Victorian beauty with a story to tell… ✨

This stunning Rimmel Perfumery Paris frosted glass perfume bottle has survived for well over a century and still retains its original ground-glass stopper.

The embossed “RIMMEL – PERFUMER – PARIS” lettering and frosted finish make it a wonderful piece for collectors of Victorian perfume bottles, antique glass, and apothecary treasures.

There’s something special about holding an everyday luxury from the Victorian era and imagining the history it has witnessed.
