| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised cascade or cluster of ancient coins rendered in bold relief, evoking Anglo-Saxon and early medieval coinage. Surrounding the composition, a circular border legend reads 80TH BIRTHDAY 16TH JVLY 1984, with runic-style lettering echoing the medieval numismatic theme of the honoree's scholarship. |
