Reverse description A long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, forming the standard voided cross-and-pellets design characteristic of medieval Irish pennies. The surrounding legend reads CIVITAS DUBLINE, identifying the Dublin mint, rendered in a somewhat irregular Latin script consistent with hand-engraved hammered coinage. The flan edges are uneven and the strike is off-centre in places, typical of the Dublin Mint output of this period. The cross extends to the coin's edge, dividing the inscription.
