This issue would appear to be a joint
issue between one of the established primary moneyer's Fastulfr and
another individual Hrafn. Fastulf is a prolific issuer in his own name and
also with two other individuals called Boga and Oda. These combinations of
names give us an insight to the organization of the York mint under Edgar,
with primary or principal moneyers farming out quotas to secondary or
minor moneyers.
