背面描述	A short voided cross is centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the style typical of Anglo-Saxon penny reverses. The arms of the cross extend nearly to the inner circle's edge, with pellets or wedges in the angles. A Latin legend naming the moneyer and mint is arranged around the circumference in the outer field, following standard English penny conventions of the period.

附加信息	Olof Skötkonung was the first Swedish king to convert to Christianity and the first to strike coins in Sweden, establishing a mint at Sigtuna around 995 AD. These deniers were produced in direct imitation of contemporary Anglo-Saxon penny types — almost certainly because Olof employed English moneyers, likely recruited through ecclesiastical networks at a time when England was the dominant model for northern European Christian kingship. The political messaging was deliberate: coinage was a demonstration of royal authority and Christian legitimacy, not an economic necessity in a region still heavily dependent on hack-silver.
