| Reverse description | A voided cross potent extending to the beaded inner circle, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a pellet or annulet ornament. The design is characteristic of the short-cross coinage tradition prevalent in the Anglo-Irish mints of the late 12th century. The surrounding legend, divided by the arms of the cross, identifies the moneyer and the mint city of Waterford. The lettering is set between the inner and outer beaded circles, with a cross pattee introducing the inscription. |
