​this is the description from eBay:

“Archbishops of Canterbury. Wulfred. 805-832. AR Penny (20mm,1,13 g, ). Group III. Canterbury mint; Swefheard, moneyer. Struck circa 810-822/3. + VVLFRED ARCHIEPI, tonsured bust facing, bust extends to edge of coin / + SVVEFHERD mO(NE)TA, Dorobernia Civitas monogram.”

his other coins he’s sold look pretty real

​tho I can say, comparing the lettering to other coins definitely makes me believe it might be fake. Glad I didn’t buy it yet!

​Compare with the Numista listing here.
The piece in your photo is clearly not SVVEFHERD, I see something like SABERHT, but that just means the description is wrong. I can't tell whether or not it is genuine or fake, one would need to have it in hand (very difficult to tell from flat 2D images), check weight and diameter and even specific gravity.
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
