At the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford there is an exhibition called ‘King Alfred’s Coins’. It show the recently discovered Watlington Hoard, and a large number of other local artifacts, including some from Abingdon.
You can see the original Abingdon Sword on display at this exhibition – an iron sword fragment and hilt found near Abingdon in 1874. The sword itself dates from around 874.
A reproduction of the Abingdon Sword can be seen at Abingdon County Hall Museum.
