| Beschrijving keerzijde | A voided long cross divides the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a triquetra or trefoil-like ornament, closely imitating the English Crux type reverse design of Æthelred II. The cross extends to the outer beaded border, with a small central pellet at the intersection. A circumscribed Latin legend in debased lettering runs around the periphery, naming the moneyer and mint of Dublin. The execution is irregular and somewhat crude, consistent with the work of local Hiberno-Norse craftsmen adapting English die-cutting conventions for the Dublin mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sihtric Anlafsson — also known as Sihtric III Silkbeard — ruled Dublin for an extraordinarily long stretch by Viking-Age standards, and this Crux-type penny belongs to the earliest phase of Hiberno-Norse coinage, a deliberate imitation of Æthelred II's English issues then flooding the region through trade and tribute. The Dublin mint was not a royal institution in the English sense; it operated under commercial pressure as much as political direction, producing coins whose weight and die-cutting quality varied considerably across the run.
The bust-left orientation is the less common of the two bust variants for this type.
