| Obverse description | Phase II issue. Schematised, stylised bust of Aethelred II facing right, rendered in the Hiberno-Norse manner with simplified facial features characteristic of Dublin imitative coinage. A small trefoil ornament is present at the neck, with a single pellet behind the bust. The effigy is enclosed within a beaded border, with the royal legend disposed around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | A bold voided long cross extending to the beaded border, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a single pellet at its centre. The cross arms are plain and linear, consistent with the Hiberno-Norse long cross type. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the design between the cross ends and the beaded rim, with the moneyer's name rendered in a characteristically debased, imitative script. |
