Interesting about the coins, but the hysteria about “rewriting history” is flimflam. Alfred the Great, the only English called “the great”, is one of the key figures in Anglo-Saxon history, indeed, his cultural influence extends to the current United States of America.

But journalists love to get publicity with “rewrite history” claims.
