| Reverse description | A retrograde LONDONIA monogram rendered in the Viking imitative style, composed of interlocking strokes forming the letters of LONDONIA in a bold, angular arrangement at the center of the field. A cross potent appears above the monogram and a second cross below, with the four quadrants of the field largely open. The design closely follows the Two-Line type associated with Alfred the Great's coinage of London but executed with the characteristic crudeness of a Danelaw imitative issue. |
