| Obverse description | Central plain cross with arms extending nearly to an inner beaded circle, with the Greek letters alpha (Α) and omega (Ω) pendant in the lower two quarters of the cross. The field is otherwise plain within the inner circle. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the design between the inner beaded border and the outer irregular rim, reading GOSFRIDVS COIS, identifying Geoffrey as count. The lettering is bold and typical of Carolingian-derived Angevin hammered coinage of the mid-eleventh century. |
