Obverse description Crude bust of a ruler facing left in the Hiberno-Norse imitative style, derived from contemporary Anglo-Saxon penny prototypes. The head is diademed or helmeted with stylized parallel lines indicating hair or headgear, and a prominent nose and eye rendered in a schematic, degenerate manner typical of Dublin mint production. A sceptre or cross-tipped staff appears before the face, while a draped shoulder is suggested below. The entire effigy is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a continuous outer legend in the field.
