| Reverse description | Crude hammered reverse featuring a debased two-line inscription across the field, characteristic of the Viking imitative coinage produced in East Anglia during the late ninth and early tenth centuries. The legend DIARVALD MO, identifying the moneyer Diarvald, is rendered in degenerate Latin capital letters distributed across the flan in an irregular and partially garbled arrangement. Additional pellets and cross elements appear within the field as decorative or space-filling devices. The overall execution is rough, with uneven strike depth and irregular flan, consistent with Danelaw workshop production imitating Alfredian monetary types. |
