| 背面描述 | The reverse displays the celebrated LONDONIA monogram, a complex interlaced cipher formed by the letters of the city name arranged in a bold, decorative pattern occupying the entire field. The design features bold strokes of the letters L, O, N, D, O, N, I, A interwoven into a single monogrammatic device, with groups of pellets filling the interstices. A small cross pattée appears above the monogram in the upper field. The whole is contained within a plain inner circle and an outer beaded border, referencing the importance of London as a commercial centre under Alfred's authority. |

Alfred struck this monogram type during the period when he and the Carolingian-influenced moneyers of London were experimenting with a revived, more sophisticated coinage — partly as a political statement following his recapture of London from Viking control in 886. The city's return was formalized in a treaty with Æthelred of Mercia, and the coinage that followed was deliberately ambitious, echoing Carolingian prototypes in a bid to project legitimacy.
The halfpenny denomination is substantially rarer than the penny of the same type. Many surviving examples are irregular in flan, a predictable consequence of hand-cutting silver blanks to fractional weight.
