| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) facing left in the central field, shown with a cruciform sceptre or staff surmounted by a cross, with a small crown or nimbus visible below. The design is rendered in the bold, slightly crude hammered style characteristic of late Anglo-Saxon coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device. The surrounding legend reads ÆTHELRED REX ANGLORUM in Latin capitals, partially visible around the periphery. This coin exhibits a suspension hole pierced near the top, indicating secondary use as a pendant or amulet. |
