| Reverse description | A voided short cross with plain limbs extending to the inner circle divides the field into four quarters, each containing one letter of the word CRUX (C, R, V, X), arranged in the manner of the Anglo-Saxon Crux type. Each letter is accompanied by a small star or pellet ornament in the angles. The legend of the moneyer Asketil of Dublin runs between the inner circle and the beaded outer border, rendered in retrograde and barbarised Latin lettering characteristic of early Hiberno-Norse imitative coinage. |
