| Obverse description | Crude bust of King Anund Jacob, partially facing left, holding a sceptre in the right hand, rendered within a solid inner ring. The effigy reflects the simplified artistic conventions of Viking-age Scandinavian coinage, closely influenced by contemporary Anglo-Saxon prototypes. A legend in uncial Latin characters encircles the bust within a beaded outer ring. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a small circle or annulet, the whole enclosed within a solid inner ring. This cross-and-annulet motif is characteristic of Viking-period Scandinavian pennies modelled on English Ethelred-type deniers. A legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device within a beaded outer ring, recording the moneyer's name and probable mint location. |
