| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned and diademed effigy of King Harold II facing left, holding a sceptre before him, rendered in the Anglo-Saxon hammered style characteristic of late pre-Conquest English coinage. The royal portrait is depicted with a pointed crown and stylised facial features typical of eleventh-century die-cutting. A Latin legend encircles the effigy, partially preserved on this half-flan, reading HAROLD REX AN (Harold King of England). The coin is a halfpenny produced by cutting a full penny flan in half, resulting in the characteristic semi-circular shape. The die work reflects the PAX type coinage struck during Harold II's brief reign in 1066. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field displays the word PAX (meaning 'Peace') in bold Roman capitals across the centre, a design motif borrowed from earlier Confessor-era coinage and emblematic of Harold II's claim to peaceful sovereignty. The inscription is framed within a linear border with a partial circular legend around the periphery, containing the moneyer's name and mint signature, now partially lost on this half-flan. The lettering is executed in the angular, deeply-cut style typical of Anglo-Saxon hammered silver coinage. A beaded inner circle separates the central PAX inscription from the surrounding legend. The overall die style is consistent with the single type struck during Harold II's reign of approximately nine months in 1066. |
