| Obverse description | Stylized draped bust of a ruler facing left, depicted in the Hiberno-Norse manner with a distinctive radiate or crested helmet rendered in bold, schematic lines. The bust is shown in profile with angular, almost primitive features characteristic of Viking-age Irish coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy in the field, separated by cross stops. The overall style reflects the local die-cutter's interpretation of contemporary Anglo-Saxon prototypes, with notable provincial artistic character. |
