"Eoba's earliest known coins for Offa are undoubtedly those of B10 [Туре 102). B10 [Type 102] is a fascinating type which chronologically and stylistically divides into an early and a late phase... The annulet cross is very similar to those of the Egberht coins, with a single pellet within the central annulet which, significantly, is rather small as on the Egberht coins. But there must be a doubt as to whether these early phase B10 [Type 102] coins predate Egberht's coinage or immediately succeed it. If they were struck earlier they would, of course, represent a Mercian coinage at Canterbury interrupted by Egberht's issues and presumably to be dated earlier than the battle of Otford in 776, which may well have provided Ecgberht with his opportunity for independence. Sir Frank Stenton has pointed out that the battle of Otford may have been a disaster for Offa and that it may be significant that he cannot be shown to have possessed any authority in Kent during the following ten years. Eoba's earliest coins for Offa seem to have followed very quickly his latest issues for Ecgberht II at Canterbury. On the evidence of his coins his employment under Offa was a more rapid transfer than that of either Babba or Udd; very soon, in fact, after the cessation of Ecgberht's coinage and, assuming that Eoba's coins must have all been struck at Canterbury, very soon after Ecgberht, for whatever reason, no longer controlled Canterbury and East Kent."
