| Reverse description | A plain long cross extending to the inner beaded border, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a small annulet or pellet ornament. An uncial Latin legend surrounds the cross, naming the moneyer and mint, consistent with the Anglo-Saxon penny typology upon which these early Swedish deniers were modeled. The execution is characteristic of Viking-age hammer-struck coinage with irregular flan preparation. |
