| Reverse description | Central field features a small cross pattée set within a raised, plain inner circle that dominates the reverse design. The moneyer's name and mint name are rendered in bold Anglo-Saxon lettering arranged in a continuous legend between the inner circle and the beaded outer border. The composition is austere and functional, consistent with the reformed coinage standards of Æthelstan's reign. The legend reads clockwise from a cross pattée initial mark and identifies both the responsible moneyer and the mint of production. |
